Born in Fort Collins on August 28, 1990, Karl was raised in Cheyenne, Wyoming and graduated from East High School in 2008, excelling in soccer, swimming, and lacrosse. He was a proud graduate of the University of Wyoming with an education degree in 2018 despite many obstacles and trials. A hard worker, he was employed at the Walmart Distribution Center since 2008. After graduating from UW, he moved to Fort Collins where he loved the social life and outdoors. Fishing, snowboarding, hiking, camping, traveling and all types of sports were his passion.
