Carl Rice Treseder

Carl Rice Treseder grew up in Los Gatos, just across the bay from his grandfather, artist William S. Rice. This meant frequent opportunities to visit Papa Rice’s Oakland home and studio, which held artwork, presses, cameras and scrapbooks. He is a graduate of Stanford University with a B.A. in history, and later an MBA. Following military service he worked for California state government in Sacramento, “graduating” to positions in school districts, serving as chief financial officer, and retired in 2014.
