Alberto (Al) Fuentes is the president, master designer, and consultant behind Dragon Cellars. He has been dedicated to making this unique company a success, culminating in seventeen years of providing demanding clients the most innovative luxury wine cellars and related furniture in the market. His projects have been sold in over seven countries, with more to come!

Fuentes was born in New York City in 1960 to immigrant parents from La Coruña, Spain. He lived back and forth between the US and Spain in his childhood and young adulthood, where he served as a US Air Force captain. He joined in 1979 and opted for an early retirement in 1995. During this timeframe, he worked mostly in the aircraft maintenance area, having been stationed in various bases, and left with the position of commander after serving in a training detachment in Georgia.

Returning to Spain with his family as a civilian, he held numerous jobs related to human resources, headhunting, and worked as an associate professor for three universities, teaching over eight subjects in a ten-year span. In 2007 he decided to start up a company in Madrid for the design, manufacturing, and installing of custom wine cellars, focusing on new and innovative designs in the luxury market. In 2014 the company, Dragon Cellars, was established in Delray Beach, Florida, and has since created works of art for the display, storage, care, and enjoyment of wine in the most exclusive homes and restaurants. Dragon Cellars has completed more than 320 projects.

Fuentes holds an MBA from Albany State University, a master's in aeronautical science, a bachelor's in professional aeronautics from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, and a powerplant technology associate degree from the Community College of the Air Force.
