Reared on the family farm, Carlos graduated from Troy High School in 1956 and from The Ohio State University in 1960.  In high school Carlos ran track and was a member of the Trojanaires, a musical group that traveled throughout the U.S.A. At Ohio State he was a member of various livestock judging teams and the Saddle and Sirloin Club.
