Timing and accuracy are everything for Doug Carlson. Carlson has been with the University for two decades and part of the University of California system since September 1994. Before that, he graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in economics in 1990 and the UC Berkeley School of Law in 1994. After stints on staff at UC Santa Cruz and Cal, he joined UCSF in 2004.

He’s also often found at Bay Area sports venues like Memorial Stadium, Haas Pavilion and Levi’s Stadium. That’s where Carlson is a master of time and statistics, of sorts. 

At Cal, Carlson operates the scoreboard and play clock for football, plus the game clock and scoreboard for men’s and women’s basketball. He also spots yardage for the scoreboard operator at San Francisco 49ers games.
