My name is Carl.  I was born and raised in Texas.  I served in the U.S. Army for seven years.  After I left the military, I worked for Rackspace for eight years.  I was recently hired by Red Hat to work on CentOS Stream.  During my time I Rackspace, I ran the IUS project.  That naturally led me to get involved in the Fedora and EPEL communities.  I enjoy RPM packaging, collaborating with upstream projects, and enabling users to accomplish their missions.  I'm looking forward to helping make CentOS Stream a success.
