Alex Carlin serves as a Director of The Leo J. and Celia Carlin Fund. A graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, he lives in Krakow, Poland.
Carlin co-authored a 1999 report for the Institute of Defense and Disarmament Studies proving the United States could be better defended with a significantly smaller military budget. He now focuses his activism on issues related to global warming. His day job is music; he plays 150 concerts per year, mostly in Eastern Europe. Last June he broke the Guinness World Record for Longest Solo Concert, playing 32 hours without stopping.
