Enrique Duprat serves as EWTN's Vice President of Spanish Language Production and Marketing, a position he says is a testament to the importance of the growing Catholic Hispanic population in both the United States and around the world.

Although he was born in Miami, Duprat spent much of his life in Caracas, Venezuela where he worked as a Creative Director at top advertising agencies in Latin America and, later, the United States.

Fifteen years ago, he walked away from those agencies where he was making "good money" to come to non-profit EWTN. Duprat was instrumental to the success of the start-up and launch of EWTN Español and EWTN El Canal Católíco, both of which offer round the clock Spanish-language programming to the U.S., Latin America, and Spain.

Duprat says that while the change in careers was difficult, he looks back fondly on the transition. "I used to produce advertising spots to sell good products," he says, "but now I help promote the best product in the world!"

He currently resides in Alabama with his wife of 18 years, Katherine, and their two children.
