Carl Lutes

eTapestry Specialist

Carl Lutes has worked in Information Technology positions since the literal dawn of the computer age, starting with wired boards rather than computers. His lifetime of experience – from room-sized mainframe computers to the most current PCs and tablets - and natural affinity for data made him an excellent fit for WIST when he joined the company in 2016 specializing in eTapestry and Excel tricks for effective data cleansing. Carl enjoys spending time with his wife, three children, and six grandchildren, traveling and walking in local parks and neighborhoods. He is also an amateur, but avid, genealogist.
