He later shifted into public relations within the auto racing industry, including PR duties at the Indianapolis 500. For the past 25 years, Karl has combined his passion for music and entrepreneurship as the owner and operator of the legendary Phoenix Records. He is also an active musician, having played in the punk bands Shrieking Void of Emptiness (SVOE) and 3 Finger Demon.
