Who we are

Slate began with the vision of Eli Menendez, a Guatemalan native who relocated to Oklahoma to pursue a degree in Petroleum Engineering from OU. After a successful career in the oil industry, and staying true to his serial entrepreneur spirit, Eli decided to once again wipe the Slate clean, forge a new path with the purpose of creating a family legacy for his young son. And so Slate was born. Eli is a man of many beginnings and his most ambitious and bold project to date is Slate. His personal journey has been one of wiping the slate clean, start over and reinvent himself. His company mission hold the core values of courage and self-belief, and he strives to infuse each event and experience with integrity. He has recruited a dedicated team of professionals committed to delivering personalized service and offering a blend of comfort and style.
