ABOUT CARLTON

Carlton Garborg was born in Puerto Rico as a missionary kid and lived there for six years before permanently moving to Minnesota in 1975. Growing up in the publishing business, he is part of the third generation of Garborgs dedicated to selling Christian books. With 31 years of experience in faith-based publishing and the Christian gift industry, Carlton founded BroadStreet Publishing Group in the Twin Cities in 2014. The company publishes over 100 titles each year, including high-end gift products, Bibles, leadership books, and Christian living titles, as well as separate imprints for children’s and Spanish books. Among its notable projects are The Passion Translation of the Bible and The Chosen devotionals and novels. BroadStreet sells more than five million books annually, primarily in the general market, fulfilling its mission to share God’s truth with the world in irresistibly creative ways. In his spare time, Carlton enjoys playing golf and cherishes moments with family and friends. Most importantly, he takes his dog for a walk every day, even when the temperature drops to 20 degrees below zero.
