3. The Basics…
Name: Karl Adam Hall Age: 25
Current Location: Highwood, Illinois
I grew up on a farm in Indiana, working on
projects, fixing things, and learning the value of
hard work. I graduated top of my class and
received a full tuition scholarship from Eli Lilly’s
philanthropic arm, Lilly Endowment.
I am married, love to travel, ride my bike(s),
take photos, restore espresso machines, and
read good books.

4. I attended Trine University,
where I majored in Mechanical
Engineering with an emphasis
in Machine Design. I found the
course of study enjoyable and
took every opportunity I could
find to apply and learn more
about engineering and design.

5. After finishing my undergrad, I enrolled in the
Master of Divinity Program at Trinity Evangelical
Divinity School with an emphasis in counseling.
While always intending to return to the
marketplace after my time at Trinity, I realized that
there is hardly a better time than right after
undergraduate studies to pursue a highly
competitive three year academic program at just
such a world class institution. I enjoyed every
minute of the challenge; having my creativity,
logic, leadership, communication, and
philosophical paradigm exponentially grown. I
believe my engineering mind is sharper having
been stretched in this way.

6. The Master of Divinity degree enabled me to work with a corporate
consulting company, Ambassador Leadership, as my final practicum.
Applying systems thinking and analytic processing from my
engineering education, personality and coaching insights from my
emphasis in counseling, and leadership and theology from the
divinity education, I worked as a project manager with them with
their “Engage!” team management consulting curriculum to great
success.
Ambassador helped me concretize the ideological lessons learned in
my Master of Divinity back into the marketplace, with the goal of
creating financial and intellectual value.

7. I have multiple years of
professional experience and
educational training in these
engineering software
packages.
I have a high
degree of
expertise in these
programs.
I have experience in
project leadership,
design facilitation,
mechanical testing,
mechanical assembly,
manufacturing
process development,
and materials
sourcing.
Tech Proficiencies…

8. I would enjoy the opportunity to dialogue with you more about my
proven ability to create substantive value for your company as a
design engineer.
Thank you for your time viewing this slide show. Every click is
value, or so the internet experts say, therefore I appreciate the
value of your interest in learning a bit about me.
