He was graduated from Hamilton four years later, in 2001, with honors, and decided to go off to see the world by relocating to Williamsburg, Virginia. After going to law school and practicing law in Virginia for several years, Karl's son, Bryce, was born in February 2011.

Although they currently live in Bethel, New York, Karl decided to open his practice in Livingston Manor to help serve the community he grew up in.
