Carl has retired from his forty-plus years in the fashion industry in New York and is now living his lifelong dream: painting. His college education was at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and he studied costume history at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He is a member of the Arts Council of Princeton and the Monroe Township Cultural Commission. Carl is a work in progress. He said of his first public recognition: "I was about 10, living in the Bronx, and I won a coloring contest for Bozo the Clown. Bozo was big in those days. They gave out coloring books at the movies and I guess I stayed inside the lines better than the other kids. A few weeks later, we went to the movies and in between features, the manager brought out Bozo. I was sitting way up in the balcony and he called my name, saying I had won the contest. I could have fallen over." As a youngster, Carl had a poster displayed at the American Museum of Natural History. He lives in Monroe Township with his wife Ellen.
