Growing up in Miami, a diverse and dynamic city, he was exposed to a wide range of sports and fitness activities. Over the years, he developed a passion for soccer, and while being an avid player, he realized how staying active provided him with the health and physical benefits to perform better on and off the field. By understanding the life benefits of a body in constant movement, he began the growing passion to learn and educate others in the field by providing physical therapy to his peers.

He earned his Bachelor’s in Athletic Training and Sports Medicine from Florida Gulf Coast University in 2018.

In addition to his love of sports and family, Carlos is also a talented musician. Carlos was born in Colombia but raised in Miami, Florida. He carries his Colombian roots with him as he plays the accordion and is a member of a local band.

Carlos is a hardworking and dedicated individual who values the relationships he has in his life.
