Carlos Ruiz began his career in construction in the Dallas area over 20 years ago and was owner of a successful framing business. When Carlos and his wife Nicole moved home to Western Colorado in 2009, Carlos had the opportunity to work for a major local builder, where he learned the full scope of the residential building process. Simultaneously, he studied and earned a degree in Construction Technologies and Supervision from Colorado Mesa University as his family began to grow. Previous education included 4 years of Philosophy in a Seminary in Mexico. Eager to bring together his textbook knowledge and years of practical experience in construction, Carlos seized the opportunity to accomplish his dream of becoming a builder, launching Alta Home Builders.
