GETTING TO KNOW YOU In an effort to promote the warm community feeling we strive for here at KMS, we introduce you to KMS members each week. We hope you enjoy
meeting your fellow members and will use these brief bios as a catalyst to introduce yourself to others at KMS.
ALLISON & LOUIS LAZAR Allison and Louis Lazar moved to Kemp Mill in 2005. They met at the University of Pennsylvania where Allison became enamored with a handsome soccer player during her first week of school (Louis is writing this summary!). Louis studied Accounting and Finance, and Allison studied Electrical and Systems Engineering. Allison is originally from Brooklyn but moved to Woodmere, NY in middle school. She leads a data analytics team at Frontpoint, a home security company based in Tysons Corner. Allison enjoys staying active, going to boot camp most mornings at 5:45 AM. Louis grew up in Gaithersburg and is a Tax Director at PwC. Louis also enjoys staying active (but not at 5:45AM) and rooting with his family for all the DC area sport teams. Allison and Louis have 4 wonderful kids Dana (10), Stella (8), Maya (5) and Zachary (5) who all attend Berman
Hebrew Academy. The Lazars joined KMS a couple of years ago and love being part of the warm and welcoming community.
