Carl began working for Oklahoma State University in 1965 where he was an Agriculturalist. He retired from the Agronomy Department in 1995. While working for O.S.U. he lived in Stillwater and Perkins before moving to the Dripping Springs area east of Cushing in 1993. He had been a longtime member of First Assembly of God, attending in Stillwater, Cushing and most recently in Yale.
Carl loved to farm, to him it was a hobby instead of work. He called himself a steward of the land, buying land, working it, and making it profitable. But his greatest joy in life in his later years has been spending time with family traveling, going to the lake, and going fishing. Carl was devoted to his family and his church. He took great joy in working on his 3W Ranch and woods equipment company.
