CARSON HOCHHALTER, LIFELINE/COO

---

Carson grew up in a household where human trafficking was an everyday conversation. After graduating from the University of Montana (GO GRIZ), he started his career in Personal Training. During that time, he also worked with New York Life as an agent. His desire to help others facilitated his career move toward The LifeGuard Group. Carson oversees The LifeLine project, going into schools across the country to empower and equip students in the fight against human trafficking. He also serves as the Chief Operations Officer for The LifeGuard Group. 

When he is home, he and his wife, Kara, are active outdoors with their yellow lab, Murphy. Together, they like to "chase the pow" at their favorite ski hill, Lost Trail. He has also become quite the DIYer. (YouTube and Masterclass are two of his favorite resources) Carson's movies of choice are Braveheart and 300. (both favorites). His go-to book is The Go-Giver.
