Carl Frost was born in Williamson County, Tennessee in 1925. He was raised on a farm and still loves the country.
He graduated from Eagleville High School, Eagleville, Tennessee in 1943. He was in the Army in World War II serving in Germany and
Austria.
He came back home to the Eagleville, Rockvale area. He is retired from AVCO, now Textron in Nashville, Tennessee. He sang gospel music with his brothers (Alvin, Don and John), The Frost Brothers quartet for many years. The original Frost Brothers consisted of his father, Roscoe, and Roscoe's brothers. Now the New Frost Brothers with two of Carl's younger brothers, Don and John, still sing and are going strong. Carl and Alvin are retired from the quartet. Carl started and operated a canoe livery on Duck River near Chapel Hill, Tennessee back in the 60's and then owned a log home business in the 70's. He lives in Rockvale, Tennessee with his wife and three teenage sons. His other five children are grown and all live near Carl, except for his daughter, April, and her husband, Brian, who work over seas. |

From a young age Carl always loved to hunt and fish. In those days you ate what you caught. Carl loved to fish for catfish at
night with a hook, line and cane pole. If they didn't bite at night, he would jump in the creek, feel under the rocks and catch
them with his hands in the daytime.
Carl killed his first deer in 1974. A nice ten point buck that field dressed 225 pounds. However, he was disappointed in the flavor of the meat. Also the flavor of the catfish taken from the creeks and rivers vary in taste. When he retired from Aerostructures in 1986, he began experimenting with a blend of seasonings and spices that would improve the flavor of venison and catfish. When he hit on the right combination, he began using it to prepare catfish at family reunions, church and school related gatherings. "From that time on" Carl stated, "I kind of got elected cook". As he continued using his blend of spices, he found that it worked great on all meats and vegetables that require seasoning. Thus came the name, Carl's All Purpose Seasoning.

As Carl was designing a container for his product he used a camouflaged design that would suggest the products use by hunters
and fisherman. Instead of the green camouflage popular among hunters, he decided on the tan color which was being worn at
the time by soldiers in
Operation Desert Storm.
