Gadsey has a Master of Arts in Public Advocacy and Activism from the National University of Ireland, Galway. He also has been trained as an ombudsman for Vulnerable Adult Abuse Prevention and Intervention, where he’s trained others during his earlier time in Wrangell (2005-2012) as an independent living specialist for Southeast Alaska Independent Living.

Correction: Originally it was posted that Gadsey was a licensed counselor who worked in Domestic Violence prevention and family counseling for the U.S. Army. It was Carl Gadsey who held this role.
