Meet Our Staff

Carlos Gonzalez has been active in the not-for-profit sector since 2019. He holds a BFA from The Pacific Northwest College of Art. Before moving to Gainesville in 2019, he enjoyed a career as an art teacher in Miami. Prior to working with KACB, Carlos was Executive Director of Conservation Burial Incorporated which oversees Prairie Creek Conservation Cemetery. He recently served on the national board of the Conservation Burial Alliance. Throughout his career he always had a deep connection with nature and its need for protection. He was taught early on that “If you make a mess you'd better clean it up!”. This was never truer; we must encourage everyone to "clean the planet". Carlos is keen on litter prevention education, promoting methods of recycling and reuse, and beautifying our county’s environment for future generations. When he can, Carlos enjoys cooking for his family, spending time in the outdoors and tending to his gardens.
