About Carl
Carl Perry moved to South Dakota from Kansas City at the age of ten. He lived on a farm by Selby, SD (actually went to a one room school house), and attended Northern State University in Aberdeen. He retired from private business in 2017 and was elected to the South Dakota State House in 2018.
He and his wife Sheryl have two grown children, and will celebrate their 46th wedding anniversary this year. In the summer, Carl and Sheryl can be seen giving their Yellow Napped Amazon Parrot bicycle rides around the streets of Aberdeen!
