Carl Young

CARL YOUNG stumbled into teaching after completing course work for a Master of Science in Aquatic and Fishery Sciences from the University of Washington. He was driving from Seattle intending to move back to his childhood home of Houston, when he stopped in Provo and due to chance ended up with a long-term substitute position at the Walden School of Liberal Arts. He loved it immediately. Over the next 12 years he taught a wide variety of subjects while developing his teaching skills and falling in love with the wonder and beauty of mathematics. In summer of 2016 Young left Utah and moved to Galveston, TX, where he started a graduate mathematics degree in fall of 2016. That fall he realized he missed teaching, and his calling and love was teaching. He decided to return to it. The next fall of 2017 he started as a mathematics teacher at Quest Early College High School in Humble, TX. Over the next two years he loved his teaching job and completed a Master of Arts in Mathematics from the University of Houston. In 2019 marriage brought him back to Provo, and he knew there was only one school he wanted to teach at, The Walden School of Liberal Arts.
