In the beggining |
Where i am now |
My name is Andy Carvalhais, or better known as
"Mr. C". I was born and raised in New Jersey. My parents migrated from Brazil over a half of a century ago. I grew up speaking English and Portuguese, however I am also fluent in Spanish . My family and I spent most of our years in Kenilworth, NJ where I graduated from High School in 1993. In 1993 I attended Parson School Of Design in New York City and then graduated from DuCret School Of Art & Design in 1997. I stumbled onto the Construction industry as a means of paying for college tuition. I was fortunate to be taught by a very knowledgeable industry professional who was willing to take employ as an apprentice. This experience would forever change my path in life by establishing a new found respect and understanding for a unique industry that would also lend itself well to my interest in Design and Creativity. This would eventually lead to a great passion for the construction Industry which motivated me to take a leap of faith and establish my own construction business at a young age in 2003. |
THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IS ALWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

I have been in business for the last 23 years and currently the owner and operator of X.G.C. Innovations LLC, which I named after my son Xzavier Genesco Carvalhais. In 2019, I began a new chapter of my career and life which would allow me to devote more time for my son and family. Teaching became an opportunity for me to slow down and focus on family while also helping contribute to an industry which is in dire need of new generations of highly skilled professionals.
Within 2024 and 2025, 75% of construction industry professionals will become of age and begin retiring. This will create unimaginable opportunities for the youth of today, in an industry which is forever growing, evolving and extremely lucrative. What better way to contribute to this cause, than to share my knowledge and teach the future generations of industry professionals. |
