Beyond The Summit looks at accomplished Trinity College alumni and asks them how they became who they are. Welcome to our third season where we’re spending time talking with alumni whose post-college careers have involved working or volunteering in the sports world.
Host Paul Sullivan '95 speaks with Oded Carmi, class of 2005. Oded was a wrestler for his four years at Trinity in the 174 and 184 and 197 weight class. He had at least 50 wins – which is the line for a good career. After graduating, Oded formed DN Van Lines, which is a moving company with locations in MA, VA, and FL but whose main line of business is as a contractor for the Department of Defense. An active business leader in Boston, Oded was appointed last year to the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission. The commission regulates, licenses, and sanctions all amateur and professional combat sport events in the state, including Boxing, Muay Thai, and Mixed Martial Arts.
