Carlos Whittaker

出生: September 04, 1973 – Los Angeles, California, United States

Carlos Whittaker is a speaker, podcaster, and author whose work centers on faith, personal growth, mental health, and human connection in a digitally distracted world. He is known for books including Moment Maker, Kill the Spider, Enter Wild, and Reconnected, which blend memoir, spiritual reflection, and practical encouragement.

传记与作者历程

Carlos Whittaker grew up in Pico Rivera in East Los Angeles in a family shaped by migration, church life, and mixed heritage. The son of a Panamanian father and Mexican mother, he has often described learning identity at the intersection of Black and Latino experience and from watching his father rise from shining shoes at LAX to college and later UCLA. Public professional profiles place part of his formal education at California Baptist University from 1998 to 2000, and his early career unfolded in worship ministry in Southern California and later Atlanta.
