Carl began his music career with his first piano lesson at age 12. An immediate attraction continued throughout high school and then into college where Carl received a two-year degree under the direct tutelage of Dr. Milfred Valentine, one of the most sought-after voice teachers in the United States. Carl made it to the top in the performing world when he was chosen from thousands of competitors worldwide for a tour in 1982 with the prestigious touring and performing show band, Tops in Blue. The band is owned by the U.S. Air Force and is where many celebrities, past and present, got their start. The grueling schedule landed Carl in the hospital with pneumonia and convinced him that this was definitely NOT what he wanted to do. He completed his two-year nursing degree while in the Air Force, where he served as a surgical nurse in Air Force hospitals. After his enlistment, he returned to Oral Roberts University, where he completed his degree in broadcast production.
