Carl Kerby

Carl Kerby is one of the founding board members and speaker for Answers in Genesis. Carl Kerby grew up in a liberal church that taught evolution could be mixed with God's Word. In 1987 Carl Kerby became a Christian after attending a crusade in Salt Lake City, Utah.Carl was an air traffic controller in the military in the late 1980's. After riding in the cockpit on a flight to see his father, the Creation vs. evolution issue came up during a conversation with the pilots. The co-pilot merely showed him from the Bible that evolution was a totally different worldview that could not be in harmony with the Scripture. He introduced Carl to Ken Ham's book The Lie: Evolution. After reading it, Carl's faith was totally changed. He now knew that from the very first book, God's Word stands true.Since 1996, Carl has been an air traffic controller at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, one of the busiest airports in the world, and in a position that is perhaps the most demanding in air traffic control today.Carl has a particular burden to reach the people of Japan. Carl met his wife (they now have two children, Alisa and Carl Jr.) when he was an air traffic controller in Japan during the early 1980s.
