Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Carol learned values of resilience, trustworthiness, hard work, and a love for assisting others from her parents. Working summers at her father’s office at a Waukesha Buick dealership from age 15, along with part-time 3rd-shift work for Northview Home in Waukesha and 1st-shift work for Roger’s Hospital in Oconomowoc, provided invaluable hands-on experiences that helped foster an eclectic skill set. After graduating from Northwestern Preparatory School, now known as Luther Preparatory School, in Watertown, Wisconsin, Carol earned an Associate of Science degree from Wisconsin Lutheran College, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Lawrence University, Appleton, Wisconsin. She achieved magna cum laude and became a member of Mortar Board.
Carol has spent her entire 38-year career in the insurance industry and prides herself on taking care of her clients’ unique needs. Carol resides in Elm Grove, Wisconsin with her husband John and cat Calloway Edward – Cal E for short. John and Carol have a son Christian who is Pastor at Resurrection Lutheran in Aurora, IL. Christian is married to Raquel, who is a preschool teacher at Resurrection Lutheran. John and Carol also have a son Evan and daughter-in-law Megan who reside in Waukesha, WI. Both Evan and Megan are teachers, Evan teaches 7th grader at Mt. Calvary in Waukesha while Megan teaches part-time at the pre-school. We welcomed Theodore Aidan into our family in 2023 – first grandchild!
Carol’s interests include music, running, ping pong (table tennis) and traveling to their little cedar log cabin on a pristine lake in northern WI.
