CARROLL's BIO as we first saw it on the CBS
Survivor Website: |
John F. Carroll was
born in El Paso, Texas, and grew up in Omaha,
Nebraska. In high school, he was a state-ranked
track & field and cross-country runner. He
also ran in the Junior Olympics his senior year.
After  graduation,
he attended Midland Lutheran College in Fremont,
Nebraska, on a track and cross-country
scholarship, and lettered in tennis as a walk-on
during his sophomore year. While attending
Midland, he was elected class president, appointed
Entertainment Director for campus activities,
joined the Kappa Phi fraternity, ministered as a
Liturgical clown and appeared in campus theatre
productions. He holds an Associate of Science
degree in Nursing (ASN) from Excelsior College and
is a Registered Nurse in Nebraska. In 2000, he
delivered the senior commencement speech at
Bellevue University after graduating summa cum
laude with a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in
Criminal Justice.
After leaving Midland, Carroll spent nearly three
years in the United States Air Force where he
worked as a medic. In 1990, he moved to Los
Angeles, Calif., where he then spent almost eight
years working with people afflicted with AIDS.
During this period, he raised money and donated
significant time and energy to numerous AIDS
organizations.
In 1997, Carroll returned to Omaha and began
working with US West/Qwest, a telecommunication
and broadband company. He soon became a successful
sales consultant and trainer. In his spare time,
he became a member of the Telephone Pioneers of

volunteer organization, and raised money for
various relief and community events. In 2001, he
decided to leave his job to attend law school.

he was informed that he had been selected to

to Creighton in August, 2002, to resume his law
