Local exec doubles as grand champion whistler

WASHINGTON — Maybe he whistles while he works? By day Chris Ullman is director of Global Communications for the Carlyle Group in the District but he is also a four-time International whistling champion.

Ullman recently whistled the National Anthem at a Washington Nationals game at Nats Park. And that is just one of his many performances. He has whistled before world leaders and accompanied by famous orchestras. He has whistled for funerals and weddings. He says he hasn’t at any Bar Mitzvahs yet but he’s game.

Check out one of Ullman’s performances:
