Immaculate Conception School, Yuma High School, and received his

Carlos worked with his father and brothers while very young with
the family construction company. Here he learned a trade in
sheet rock that he perfected throughout his years of working in
construction. For two years in his twenties Carlos worked with
Maranatha Trucking Company moving government employees who had
been deployed or were transferred. This allowed him to cross the
country in an 18 wheeler numerous times. He later settled in
Florida and began working as a journeyman with a construction
company doing sheet rock and texturing. This led him to Atlanta,
Georgia. He began working with numerous contractors in the
Atlanta area. He had a small crew and soon built a reputation
for the quality in his work and was in high demand for many
years. He was known as the guy from Arizona named Wall. Carlos
