About Us
In their lives prior to moving to the Cape in 1984, David and Carla travelled, worked, and lived, nationally, and abroad for challenging and exciting life changing periods of time. Little did they realize that the Cape was to be the most life changing move of their lives. They arrived on the Cape for a one year stay and not surprisingly decided to extend...
David worked for many years in Nauset Public Schools as a teacher of Spanish and director of the Nauset ELL Program.
Carla worked in real estate, managing rental and sales offices after their children were in school.
The Cape was where they put down roots and watched their children grow, flourish, and move on to their own life journeys.
They acquired Cape Cod Linen Rental as a very small though successful business in 2007. Over the years it has continued to grow successfully taking its place initially, in the Cape's summer rental and tourism season, and now operating year-round. David jokes that CCLR now owns them, not the other way around.
As much as possible in their free time, they enjoy their life on Cape Cod and find it infinitely satisfying, welcoming visits from their two sons and their families as well as friends.
Carla's life on the Cape has included years of studying voice, singing in musicals at the Academy of Performing Arts in Orleans, and singing with the Chatham Chorale, as well as supporting various local causes and charitable organizations. Retired from the business a few years ago and now free from those responsibilities year-round, Carla counts baking, reading thrillers, knitting, snuggling with Max the cat, walking, and being a grandmother to two of the cutest grandchildren ever among her favorite activities. Her morning walks with her Doodles, Patch and Balki, offer multiple benefits and daily joy. She welcomes the off season with open arms as it returns David to a more relaxed and normal schedule.
David embraces the peace of the off season, walks the beaches and marshes with his trainers, the Doodles, Patch and Balki. He enjoys cooking, and also oversees work on and plans for their gardens that have been progressing for 30 years. Mostly he dives deep into his passion as an emerging artist, making up for lost time and exploring multiple creative pathways. He invites you to check out his website in progress at dmwoodartworks.com.
