Born in Haiti and raised in Nyack, New York, Ferdinand Louis is proof that authenticity, when paired with discipline, can build influence without gimmicks. Known to his rapidly growing audience as The Steak King, Ferdinand isn’t just posting food content—he’s documenting a lifestyle rooted in intention, health, and accountability.
Ferdinand didn’t grow up eating steak or dreaming of culinary dominance. His relationship with food was shaped by necessity during his college years at Berkeley College in White Plains, where he studied business marketing. Like many young adults living on their own for the first time, he learned to cook because he had to. Pasta was the go-to because it lasted. Steak showed up occasionally, prepared simply, with no theatrics—just fuel.
Everything changed the day he cooked his first real steak in his apartment. The process caught his attention. The control. The simplicity. The ability to get it right—or wrong—based solely on effort and precision. What began as curiosity evolved into consistency, and consistency eventually turned into mastery.
Outside of content creation, Ferdinand is a serial entrepreneur. He owns and operates corporate and residential cleaning companies and has spent the last eight years helping scale a digital media company founded by his brother. Through that work, he has supported high-profile podcasters, creatives, and Fortune 500 brands, gaining firsthand experience in business development, operations, and media growth.
In 2021, after the loss of his father, Ferdinand experienced a profound shift. Health stopped being optional. Reflection became unavoidable. Scripture resurfaced—specifically the idea that food could be medicine. That concept sparked a deep dive into nutrition, protein-forward eating, and intentional habits. The results were undeniable. His energy improved. Mental clarity returned. His body responded. The fog lifted.
Steak became a daily staple. Minimal sides. Mostly fruit. Clean fuel. No shortcuts.
Today, Ferdinand is meticulous about quality. He sources steaks directly from local farmers, asking what the cattle are fed and prioritizing 100% grass-fed options. He uses butter from the same farms, premium salt, fresh spices, and cooks exclusively with cast iron or stainless steel. Moisture control, temperature, and timing are non-negotiable. If the right cut requires a long drive, he makes it—because excellence demands effort.
That same discipline carries into the gym. A dedicated weightlifter, Ferdinand pairs heavy weights with clean eating, reinforcing a message of structure and accountability. His content has resonated deeply, generating over 1.7 million YouTube views, 220,000+ TikTok views, and averaging 130,000 monthly views on Instagram. His audience doesn’t just watch—they apply.
Beyond food and fitness, Ferdinand enjoys golf, the shooting range, meaningful conversation, and surrounding himself with people committed to growth. Looking ahead, his vision includes opening a steak restaurant, launching his own steak line, and ultimately building a farm-to-table operation where he controls every step from seed to plate.
“I don’t mind being extreme if it works,” Ferdinand says. “But when other people start seeing results too, that’s what keeps me locked in. It tells me I’m on the right path.”
Focused. Intentional. Unapologetic.
Ferdinand Louis isn’t chasing trends—he’s building legacy.
