OVERCOMING ADVERSITY…THE POSITIVE WAY.

 

Left profoundly deaf and without speech through a childhood illness, Carl’s world was turned upside down.

Faced with constant obstacles in his way due to his disability, Carl’s achievements are made the more remarkable through the acceptance of his disability and his sheer determination, resilience and perseverance to succeed. Never giving up on his hopes and dreams, paved the way for a multitude of successes.

From a child actor to a world pool champion and onto conquering the North Pole – the first deaf person to do so, Carl deems absolutely nothing beyond his reach.

Deafness – invisible and the most complex of disabilities, trapped Carl in a world of silence. Deprived of the opportunity of learning speech through sound, Carl overcame this barrier through placing his hand on his parent’s throats to feel the vibrations.

Focusing on relatable aspects of his experience, Carl’s speeches never fail to inspire, striking at the core system of belief – that we can..!
