(Something he emulated in his own career) and realized that he could combine his passion for sports and entertainment with his knowledge of wealth management to generate a long-term career. He noticed that athletes and entertainers experienced little loyalty and devotion from their financial advisors in enhancing their earnings or helping them progress financially for a successful future at the end of their careers. Furthermore, he has worked with sports agents and professional athletes directly to discover that they accumulated their wealth in a relatively short span, were in an extremely competitive market handling constant business offers, faced more financial hurdles with their travels and all the different laws per location they visited, and so forth.

Carlos emerged with MVP Wealth in 2011, which handles all aspects of wealth management and long-term planning for professional athletes and entertainers who ultimately face more complications, risks, and potential challenges than would a regularly employed individual and therefore need the most care and protection.

He consults high net worth individuals, accredited investors, business owners, lottery winners, as well as other professionals including doctors, attorneys, professional athletes and celebrities. Additionally, he has hosted educational workshops for business owners, retirees, as well as retired NFL and NBA athletes. 

Besides his career passions, Carlos has also maintained a philanthropic legacy with his work. His charitable activities include: supporting non-profit foundations such as the Brandon Meriweather 31 Ways Foundation, Devin Hester Foundation, Vince Carter Embassy of Hope Foundation, and many others. He is as a former board member of the Flagler County Education Foundation, Darrell Armstrong Foundation for Premature Babies, and NFL Alumni Central Florida Chapter. Currently, Carlos is a Contributor for Kiplinger and has contributed for Forbes, MarketWatch, Investopedia, and TheStreet,. He has been quoted or featured in Bloomberg, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, U.S. News & World Report, USA Today, and several others. He’s also been interviewed on various radio and television stations. Carlos is fluent in Portuguese and Spanish.
