April Davis, Neighbor

April Davis, Founder, and CEO of LUMA- Luxury Matchmaking turned her passion into a lucrative business. Born in a small town, April had dreams of moving to the city and working her way up a Fortune 500 company. After achieving what she thought to be her dream, she felt unsatisfied. She decided to leave Finance, Six Sigma and Process Improvement consulting to pursue a passion she had practiced within her friend group for years-

Matchmaking.

Before she made the dramatic change, April worked as a Matchmaker within her friend group. Whenever she met someone who was single, she would naturally start thinking of who she might know that would be a good fit for that person. April often wondered why so many of her girlfriends were single – they were all high-caliber women who were beautiful on the inside and out. Many were just unable able to meet a man they truly connected with, but that didn’t mean there were no good men out there! The challenges involved in singles meeting quality matches became increasingly apparent, and it was then that April realized she needed to take her matchmaking from a hobby to a full-time career.

Her work ethic mixed with her skills of intuition and understanding people helped blossom her company. She understood the ins and outs of love. Not just the butterflies and hearts type of love – the real, long-lasting, take home to Mama, marriage material type of love. After all, she’s married to a Divorce Attorney, which gives her a unique insight to know what’s going to last. April founded her company in 2010 with no financial backing. Through extensive networking, hiring the right employees, and being innovative in regards to how she set her business apart from the competitors, her dream of helping thousands of people find love came true. Now in its sixth year, LUMA- Luxury Matchmaking has increased both its revenue and size, reaching over 25 cities across 17 states. April continues to find ways to innovate and bring her company to the next level. When it involves love, sky’s the limit.
