He then chose his career path and attended Northwestern University in Chicago where he earned a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree. He and his family moved from Idaho to Scottsdale, AZ in 1963. Carl opened his dental office on Osborn Road where he successfully practiced his profession for over 30 years.Carl was a very colorful and charismatic individual who loved outdoor activities including fishing, hunting and four-wheeling. He made many friends during his years practicing dentistry and through community service organizations such as the Scottsdale Charros and Sertoma. He had a casual yet elegant way about him, living and loving life to the fullest, enriching those around him by sharing of himself, his knowledge, his wisdom and his very caring nature. Carl will most certainly be missed by his family and all who knew him.
