My Name is Carlos

I'm dedicated to facilitating the holistic development of individuals, ensuring that they thrive in all facets of life, not just their professional endeavors. After all, what use is career success if one's personal life or health is neglected?
My wife Franci and I share a passion for immersing ourselves in the wonders of nature and embracing diverse cultures. This curiosity has led us to explore numerous destinations around the globe. I find solace and inspiration in activities like biking and hiking, deeply appreciating the beauty of the natural world. My background reflects a blend of diverse influences; born in California and raised in Ecuador, I've cultivated a multifaceted cultural identity. Professionally, I'm an engineer, investor, and entrepreneur with a particular fondness for percussion instruments.
