At a young age, Ben and his parents pedaled all over the US on extended bike tours. He credits these early endurance events as part of the foundation that led to his ability to outlast his opponents in traditional sports. However, it wasn’t until college at the University of Montana in Missoula that Ben discovered triathlons in a book while traveling to Alaska. 

Once he got back to school he signed up for the local triathlon and was instantly hooked. Ben immediately set his sights on becoming pro. Since then, Ben has won seven full Ironman races, seven 70.3 Ironman races, came in 2nd in the Ironman World Championship in 2014 and 4th in both 2016 and 2019.

After growing up in Flint, Michigan, Carl learned from a young age that in order to succeed, you need to do things the right way from the beginning. His dedication to perfecting his athleticism eventually led him to a memorable career as a two-time Super Bowl champion and making the NFL 1980s All-Decade Team as a key part of the notorious Big Blue Wrecking Crew defensive line of the New York Giants.

If a successful NFL career wasn’t enough to focus on, Carl founded G III Sports only his second year into his career as a way to pave his future long after football. CEO of G III Sports is a title he still holds today, nearly 25 years after retiring from football.

Carl is also the voice of Giants football hosting both the pregame and play-by-play on the radio.

Frankly, it’s the reason this show even exists.
