Carl Settles Jr.

Hello,
My name is Carl Settles Jr. Founder and Executive Director of the Media Communications Council and CEO of Media Xperiments. I am an advocate for diversity, education and entrepreneurship. I've spent the last 2 years driving across Texas providing, field trips, mentoring and portfolio development for high school and college age students interested in media and communications careers.
Along the way, I've met many smart, talented and creative people that have helped me distill a vision for fostering community engagement and entrepreneurship. So, this is where I leave my digital bread crumbs for all who are interested.
