ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Carlos Aragao was born in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. He was raised by his grandmother, a strong and determined woman who never learned how to write or read and only knew how to sign her name. She remains a role model and a continued source of inspiration for him. In 1974, he began his career at a bookstore named “Casa do Livro” (House of Books), where the owners took him under their wing as mentors.

In 1992, he immigrated to the United States and has since worked in Marketing, Business Development, and Public Relations for companies in the USA, Puerto Rico, and Costa Rica. Since 2013, he has been residing in North Carolina, USA.
