Karl's loved jobs in Santa Maria were at Piper Aircraft Corp and Aerostar Corp. where he worked the flight line as an electrician and also received his pilot’s license.  His love of flying, speed boats and motorcycles showed his love of life.  He enjoyed life to the fullest.  His business in Santa Maria for 17 years was Karl's Auto Electric where he had loyal clients and many dear friends.  Karl moved to Las Vegas Nevada in 2005 where he opened his second business, Arctic Air Mobile Automotive Air Conditioning Service, the first mobile automotive air conditioning business in Las Vegas.  He contracted with U-Haul and solely served the Las Vegas Valley.
