Carlos Honore’ grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  He and his six siblings were born into a family that struggled to provide stability and basic needs.  For Carlos, education was not a priority, and he found himself in trouble with the law before he was a teenager.

Carlos and his family moved to Iowa City in 1989, and for the first time in his life, Carlos became involved in sports.  At Iowa City West, he excelled in football and at the time, was the only Trojan to earn all-state honors in his sophomore, junior and senior seasons.  It was sports that helped teach him the value of engagement and teamwork.

Carlos believes that children growing up in similar circumstances can succeed if they have strong role models and adults who care about their well-being.
