INTRODUCING
IVAN "THE MILLENNIAL"
SANCHEZ
BEHIND THE SUCCESS
Ivan Sanchez is the Chairman of United States
Millennials Corp and President of Houston
Millennials, a nationally awarded local Houston social
purposes organization with over 8,500 members.
Additionally, Sanchez is a Commercial Real Estate
Lender with Gold Quest Group and a apartment
complex investor with Sanmore Investments. At
30 years old, after working in Congress (TX18) for
5 years, Sanchez ran for Congress (TX7), making
him the youngest candidate and second latino to
ever run in the richest congressional district in the
Nation. Sanchez is also the CEO & Founder of Tenaz
Consulting, a public affairs, lobbying, and digital
marketing company.
With a Political Science Degree from UHD & and a
certificate from Rice University in Commercial Real
Estate, Development & Investments, Sanchez is
bringing the public, private and non profit sectors
together to create change. With 7 leadership
institutes under his belt, most notably Leadership
Houston Class XXXIX, Sanchez has become a
strong Houston community leader and influencer.
Additionally, the International Parliament of
Education granted him an honorary degree, as
he was able to lead 36 different Latin American
countries and representatives in an education
seminar.
Sanchez is a recipient of many honors including,
but not limited to; Joe Biden’s Presidential Life Time
Achievement Award, as well as being recognized by
President Barack Obama. Additionally, a US flag and
Texas flag where flown over their respective Capitols
in honor of his community work.
19
US Congressional Representatives, Texas
State, and local Houston politicians, including
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, whom gave
Sanchez his own day in the City of Houston after
serving as the youngest advisor to the Mayor in
the Mayors Hispanic Advisory Board.
To highlight some impact work, Sanchez
reversed the national board decision for a
major hospital to vaccinate immigrants that
only had passports through shear advocacy,
impacting hundreds of thousands of people
to be vaccinated. Additionally, according to
TUFT University, Sanchez mobilized 60% of
the UHD student body to vote, comparing all
the universities student body in the Nation at
5-15%.
Ivan was born in a hostile environment.
Following death threats in Colombia, his mother,
an accomplished attorney, immigrated with her
20
3 children to the United States. Although she was
successful in her quest starting from scratch once
again, her life was lost to cancer the year Sanchez
graduated from High School. The tragedy left San-
chez, a night club promoter at the time, disorient-
ed; however, in a daring attempt to dream for a
different future he propelled himself to be like his
mother and threw himself in the clearest means for
success: schoolwork.
Sixteen years ago, Sanchez was pushing shopping
carts at Krogers and selling chocolates at Godiva.
Fast Forward, Sanchez pushed legislation in the
United States Congress and funds millions of dol-
lars in commercial real estate. His mission to contin-
ue to push his entire community forward through
private, public and non-profit means for the better-
ment of the community is well on its fruition.
