ROSE HILL, VA — Without community leaders, Kingstowne-Rose Hill wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Robbie Thomson, a reader from the Rose Hill community who nominated Carl Sell.

What does this community leader do?

Head of Rose Hill Civic Association

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored?

I have lived in Rose Hill off and on since 1954. Carl Sell has been contributing to the Franconia area since the 1960s. He mentored many kids in sports as a coach and also helped with developing this section of Fairfax County. He is still helping as a senior citizen.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

An honest man who cares about his community.
