Biografía
Carlos first moved to California at the start of the 21st century—after twelve years of serving with the United States Navy. He departed the Navy as a First Class Petty Officer specializing in the Technical and Command and Communications Field. In all his travels, he has placed California as being one of a handful of places that possess the environmental diversity and beauty as California has. California has been a gateway of opportunity for him and he wants this opportunity to be available to every Californian and American.
Carlos is an everyday American who knows what it's like to work several jobs just to make ends meet. At times he has needed to rely on the safety net of unemployment during the crash of 2000 and 2008. He has also experienced the reward of his successes with his consulting and media production small business. Carlos' drive is based on his passion, willingness to persevere when the work is challenging, and a determination and drive to succeed. Being of Puerto Rican descent, Carlos understands the importance of family and having a strong and healthy close-knit community.
