During his time at Impact Technologies, Carl Byington acted as Principal Investigator for more than 70 programs, including numerous programs of the United States Army, Navy, and Air Force. The successful acquisition of Impact Technologies to Sikorsky Aircraft Company led to Carl applying his acumen to those helicopter assets.

Carl loves to explore and learn from other cultures through its people, food, and drink. He has been fortunate to have visited many countries already and run marathons on all seven continents. He is an advanced kayaker, SCUBA Divemaster, avid mountaineer, and long distance trekker, among his many pursuits. His two favorite adventure buddies are his sons, Connor and Eric. But others are most welcome to come along!
