- What are three words you would use to describe yourself?
Carlos: mogul, philanthropic, and fashionista 
- Tell us a bit about yourself:
Carlos: I come from the entertainment industry and a sports agency where I assisted players in the migration from student to professional athletes. I mentored well-known NBA, NFL and MLB athletes, helping them to adjust to their new world. In 2016, I transitioned to become one of the founders of the first medical cannabis cultivation to bring my vision to life for a business and in developing an ecosystem. It allowed me to become hands-on with the day-to-day indoor, pesticide-free, premium flour and heavy metal-free cultivation, research & development, and volatile & non-volatile extraction.
It’s a tough business with many rules and regulations to follow to remain legally compliant. I’m now focused on creating the brand of the culture, and working with a phenomenal marketing and sales team.

Carlos: No, no hobbies at the current time. I am entirely focused on building a global company starting in California and expanding to other territories.
