Carl came from an educational background. He had 20 plus years of managing people, children, and running programs and has brought all that experience with him. Carl is a real people person and oversees the administration side of the business. Coming from a physical education background, he’s the first one to put his hand up to say….”I’ll do it!” He is perfectly placed in a fast-moving, retail management environment:
