Rock Carlson

Rock Carlson is a 65-years-young father of three sons and papa to six grandchildren. Rock has spent his life mastering intense social dynamics as a correctional officer and parole agent within the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation system. With 26 years of experience, he's become an expert at reading people and defusing tense situations - skills he'll bring to the island to outwit his competitors. As a devoted husband married for 39 years with plans to move to Folsom, California, to be closer to family, Rock aims to keep his tough past hidden, presenting himself as a humble landscaper while aiming to win big for his family. Rock is a prankster and big gambler who thrives on taking risks. His plan is to be a non-threat and keep the focus on his fellow contestants before betting on himself to win it all. After years of catching bad guys and investing in his community, this is Rock's chance to get into the mix and prove he's still got it.
