For 12 years, he trained with Graeme Thomas and Lu Thomas in Woodside, California, becoming a professional horse rider. In 2009, Karl competed in the Gran Prix, the highest level of show jumping. However, he struggled in 2012 and nearly walked away from the sport. Instead, he refocused his efforts, fired his trainers and rebuilt his entire training program. In 2014, he won four Grand Prix events on his horses Jonkheer Z and Basimodo. His success continued in 2015, where he won $25,000 at the SmartPak Grand Prix. He came in second-place during the Card Flex Grand Prix event.
