A romantic at heart, Carl proposed to his girlfriend on the Gold Coast in Queensland three years ago, and they now have a young daughter. Italy would be his dream destination though because of all the delicious pasta and pizza. He prides himself on his Geek knowledge, having grown up among computers on the family farm in Christchurch, but he made the move to Wellington when he realised there was a lot more opportunity in the capital city. When growing up he wanted to be a fireman, but now he knows his skills lie in helping others realise the potential of technology in everyday life.
