Dr. Carl Herbster has a varied background that helps him better understand the people and issues of our day. After college, where he studied Math Education, Dr. Herbster entered the business world and was employed as a sales representative and later as a manager for a worldwide company. It was during his professional years that Dr. Herbster was convicted of his need to invest his life in something eternal. He left the business world and went to seminary to study for the ministry. God used him as the Senior Pastor of a large church from 1983-2012. Today Dr. Herbster does all he can to protect the values and rights of the people, families, churches, and other organizations in our country who stand for righteousness as he leads the Center to Advance the USA (AdvanceUSA).
