Carl biggs '01
BLAC would like to spotlight Carl Biggs of Woodberry Forest Schooll!!!
Born and raised in Northern,Va, Carl Biggs graduated from Woodberry Forest in 2001. While at WFS Carl played Football, Basketball and Track and he was a Cheerleader and Student Council President. He best describes his time at Woodberry Forest as an adjustment.
After WFS Carl attended William and Mary and was a member of African American Male Coalition (AAMC) and helped out as a practice player with the Women’s Basketball Team. The time spent adjusting at WFS was great preparation for being away from home and finding his footing at another Private White Institution. Carl graduated College of WM 2005 with a degree in Finance.
Carl put his finance degree to use and started working for various Big 4 Accounting Firms and now works for BDO LLP as a Manager Consultant for the Government. In his spare time Carl can be found spending quality time with his collection of nieces and nephews, watching various sporting events and traveling around the country.
Life has provided many lessons to Carl, and his defining quote that provides him direction and clarity is, “you never get what you deserve; only what you have the leverage to negotiate.” - Jalen Rose
