About Me

Hey everyone.
As most of you knew, being in the band ( Changing Skin ) and touring, was a huge part of my life. Although music will always be, I have taken on a new direction and focused on other ambitions I've had for a long time. Since then, I've been playing cards full-time, put together a private club, started a magazine and bought a second home for my family. The whole "cards" thing, have also allowed me to travel all over the country for big events, so, in a way it's like being on tour again :)
Other than that, I've just about done everything there was to do including college football and 2 years of professional kickboxing. After graduating, i left all that behind and began my career with job at an advertising firm. It was then that i found the time to get involved with music and starting my own band. I don't have any regrets about the things I've left behind... I've always lived a full life and "now" is just another chapter.
Although i still have a job as a graphic artist, I like to spend most of my time at a nice 50/100 limit game or at home just watching some DVDs.
If you have the time, feel free to visit my personal website at www.carloslobato.com and stay in touch.
"I have no fear of failure having been through what I have over the past 10 years. My only fear is not living true to myself and my dreams."
