Carlos started racing in 1985 in his homeland of Brazil, there he started his two wheel legacy on mopeds and won couple of championships.
He moved to the United States in 1988 and it wasn't until 1995 that he would find himself on a GP 125 race bike.
Carlos has been riding two stroke motorcycles his whole life and eventually began to work on his own motors. It was that aspect of his career that led him to work with the legendary mechanic Roland Cushway. Cushway had spent two years with the Cadalora GP Team back in the early 90's and is a master fabricator and engineer.
Since working with Roland, Carlos has gone on to win numerous races and a championship in various race organizations.
