Carlos and his partner Jess are the creators of Yo Sabo The Game. They are first generation Mexican - American College graduates from the University of California, Riverside. They both grew up in Latino households but had different experiences growing up. They both continue to want to spread the Spanish Language and to engage those who feel like they need help to learn (or relearn) the language. They both have STEM backgrounds.
