Carl recently retired from a 50-year career in housing policy, programs, development, and finance. He resides in Vienna, Va., with his wife, Judy, who he has been married to for 40 years. He and Judy raised three amazing children -- Chris, Chad (who has cystic fibrosis), and Cassandra -- all of whom are now married to wonderful spouses and have blessed them with five incredible grandchildren. Carl and his family have been involved with the Foundation for over 30 years. In addition to focusing his fundraising efforts on Chad's Great Strides team alongside his wife, Carl serves on the board of the Metro D.C. Chapter and is currently Outreach Chairman, focusing on care centers and advocacy efforts. Carl looks forward to dedicating more time to the Foundation's efforts in retirement while continuing to serve on a nonprofit community development board, participate in church ministries, and mentor young professionals.
