Background
Was born in San Jose, Costa Rica. He emigrated to the United States with his family when he was six. The proverbial immigrant story, his father arrived a year earlier with $79 in his pocket and the name and address of a relative. Carlos grew up in shadows of the Los Angeles skyscrapers. Carlos emerged from the shadows of the Los Angeles skyscrapers, a resilient figure navigating his surroundings with grace. As a studious individual, he steered clear of trouble, mastering the art of swift escapes from rowdy gang members. Little did he know, this skill would later transform into a valuable asset as he sprinted onto the track, showcasing his speed and determination during his high school track career.
Education
He graduated from high school and ventured into Pepperdine University, a prestigious Christian institution known for its affluent student body, including wealthy kids and celebrities—a stark cultural shift for a kid from the barrio. Despite facing numerous challenges in assimilating, he persevered and earned a bachelor’s degree in business. To support himself financially, he worked on-campus as a security guard, a role that not only helped cover his tuition but also provided valuable insurance benefits, making his academic journey possible.
