Get to Know Carl
“I never imagined I’d live like this—beautiful wife, no financial stress, in the city of my dreams. But hard work, studying the craft, and truly understanding why it all works… that changed everything.”
I grew up in a humble family in Boston, where I learned how to hustle early on. My childhood wasn’t easy—my dad was in prison for most of it—but these challenges shaped who I am today. They taught me the value of hard work and never giving up, no matter the circumstances.
I started my career in the electrical trade, and over time, I grew my skills and business. By my mid 20s I had built a successful electrical company with over 20 employees, generating millions in annual revenue. But even with that success, I realized I wasn’t getting the freedom I truly wanted. That’s when I decided to make a change and dive into real estate development full time by 2013.
My wife Ana and I packed up and moved to South Florida, ready to follow our dream. After closing my first real estate deal, I saw the incredible potential in South Florida’s development market. I knew I had to think bigger, so I shifted my focus to larger, more profitable projects. What started as a passion became a successful real estate business.
Today, I’m not here to tell you that I’ve “made it”—I still have so much more I want to do. But what I’ve learned along the way is this: It’s not just about the money or success. It’s about having the freedom to live life on my own terms. And now, I want to pay it forward.
If you’re ready to take the leap into real estate and build your own path to freedom, I’d be honored to be your mentor. I’ve made mistakes, learned a lot, and had incredible mentors who helped me get here. Now it’s my turn to help you get to where you want to go.
