Carlos has called Washington, DC home for more than a decade. These days, you’ll often find him in Cathedral Heights, balancing his time between neighborhood coffee runs to Open City or The Coupe, business conversations, and the occasional weekend project at home.

Over the past several years, Carlos has led teams and built businesses across technology and home services, earning a reputation for blending sharp strategy with genuine care for people. Now, as he steps into his next chapter, he’s focused on owning and operating a local business, one that strengthens the community, creates opportunity, and keeps decision-making close to home.

When he’s not meeting with business owners or digging into a new venture, Carlos is usually under the hood of his 1969 Mustang, working on the kind of slow, satisfying progress that mirrors how he approaches business: one deliberate improvement at a time. He and his wife, Emily, live in Cathedral Heights with their one-year-old son, Mateo, whose early curiosity keeps them both smiling and on their toes.

He’s a member of The District Church in Columbia Heights, an active real estate investor, and an avid connector of people, someone who believes that relationships are the real foundation of any lasting legacy.

For Carlos, this work isn’t just about buying businesses. It’s about building roots, relationships, and resilience right here in the DC metro he proudly calls home.
