In his early years with Blum Shapiro, Carl observed and participated in a major transition from the original founding partners to a new generation of accountants and firm leadership and consequent challenges and opportunities. He was elected to partnership in the mid-1990’s, moved into the newly created position of Chief Operating Officer in 2000, and took the reigns as Managing Partner in 2002. Under his leadership, significant growth was accomplished through strategy and vision, while always following the firm’s mission and staying true to its ethical and quality values.
