Carl could be found haunting construction sites at the age of seven and by high school had settled on architecture as his pursuit. He earned a Bachelor of Architecture with honors from Virginia Tech in 1982, was licensed as an architect two years later, and specialized in acoustics in 1995 after exploring restoration, residential, and institutional architecture. This broad background in design and technical architecture adds great depth to his consulting in acoustics. He has carried design responsibility for many music and theater performance and educational spaces in the United States and internationally.

He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and has presented his work at conferences held by the Acoustical Society of America, the Institute of Acoustics in the United Kingdom, and Ryerson University in Toronto. He has lectured architectural and acoustics classes at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Virginia Tech, Illinois Institute of Technology, The University of Illinois, and Cambridge University.
