Carl Cochran

Mr. Carl Cochran, is currently a Recreation Coordinator for the great city of Atlantic City Recreation Division. He was raised in Atlantic City and graduated from Atlantic City High School and earned a degree in Criminal Justice from Stockton University. I want to be the best father, friend, mentor and co-worker I can possibly be. I have a tremendous passion for helping at-risk youth. A couple of my goals are to help our youth navigate their way through the pitfalls/perils that come with growing up in urban cities and to help them achieve the best quality of life possible. Some of my special skills are positive communication, problem solving, listening and loyalty. I am a big fan of the Dallas cowboys N.F.L football team and an avid basketball player, trainer and coach.
