In 1993, he earned an M.A. in Secondary Education from Seton Hall University and became certified to teach mathematics in the State of New Jersey. Aside from teaching undergraduate math classes during his graduate years, Karl tutored many undergraduate student-athletes one-on-one, including a mix of future Olympic medalists, NBA regulars and Division I college coaches and administrators. From 1993 to 1994, he served as an environmental science instructor for adjudicated youth in New Jersey (i.e., for students in New Jersey’s prisons and reform schools). The program was run through the Office of Continuing Education of Rutgers University. It was through the environmental science program that Karl learned invaluable lessons about the rudiments of teaching and learning.
