As Chairman of the Economic Development Committee, Carl played a leadership role in the development of a comprehensive Economic Development “Visioning” Initiative endorsed by the City Council earlier this summer. The initiative outlines strategic objectives to promote growth and retention of our business community.

Carl has been an active member of the Public Works Committee and Stoughton Utilities Committee for over the last 5 years.  During that time, his expertise in Civil Engineering and Project Management played a significant role in the planning and development of the “4th Street Dam” which served as focal point of our community for over a100 years.  The dam played a huge part in the economical development and growth of the City of Stoughton well before the turn of the 20th century.

Carl currently is employed as a Senior Engineering Manager for Resource Engineering Associates in Middleton, WI.   Although he is involved many aspects of Civil & Engineering, he is considered an expert in the area of water quality and land resource management.  Over the past 15 years, Carl has been involved in a number of water resource projects which focus on the key aspects of natural resource protection in our Yahara River watershed.

Carl received his BS in Civil Engineering from Purdue University in 1975.  He has developed a 30 year career in Civil Engineering in areas such as Construction Project Management to Erosion Control & Drainage Engineering.

In 2004, Carl received a Masters degree in Business Administration from Edgewood College; majoring in Strategic Management.  His application of strategic planning and management practices has proved invaluable in his service on the Stoughton City Council and committees.
 

Carl is an active member of the Stoughton Optimist Club.  He has been a leader in the effort for the Optimists to sponsor an annual “Books to Movies” children program for the Stoughton Community Library.

In 2009 & 2010, Carl donated his time to participate on the Board of Directors of the Mill Pond Memory Garden Project.  The work of this group has inspired other neighborhood groups to work in concert with the City of Stoughton parks department for the further development and enjoyment of our parks and trails system.

Carl, along with his wife Cathy, have been residents of Stoughton for over 20 years. They have enjoyed the close, personal relationships with all their neighbors and friends throughout the Garfield/ Page Street neighborhood. The cultural heritage of the entire community provides a feeling of support and comfort for all our residents.
