As he likes to say, just "Carter". He lives in Madison, AL. He was born in Huntsville and began his weightlifting journey during his sophomore year in college. He began his powerlifting career in 2005 at the APF Alabama state meet run by Buddy McKee. He bombed out in the squat but learned a valuable lesson that day. He regrouped and returned in 2007 to post 2044 total. I would say he regrouped well. Throughout the years Carter has been known as a great squatter. He has a 953.5 at 242 and a 1008.6 at 220. His 1008.6 is #1 All Time at 220 age 45-49, #2 All Time at 220 age 40-49 and #15 All Time at 220 Open Men. More than that he has always been a great ambassador for the sport everywhere he goes. He loves truly loves the sport and more so his friends in the sport. As he says in his bio, " I compete in powerlifting to see and enjoy the company of my friends. The actual competition is just a bonus."
