Prior to coming to Howard, Carter spent two seasons at Bridgewater College (BC) as the defensive line coach (2015-16). In 2015, the BC defensive line featured two All-State selections in Logan Whitaker (also a first team All-ODAC choice) and Nick Cawthon (second team All-ODAC). Two more Eagle linemen (JP Utz and Sammie Harper) were named to the All-Conference Team in 2016.

Carter was at Potomac High School where he coached for three years (2012-14), including the last two as defensive coordinator (2013-14). He led a 2014 defense that did not allow a 100-yard rusher all season.

Carter, who was also a special education teacher at Potomac, previously coached at Patriot High School, handling tight ends and then defensive linemen.

A two-year starter at nose guard for the University of Virginia, Carter graduated from UVa with a degree in sociology. He later earned a master's of education degree from Grand Canyon University.

Carter had experience with several NFL teams following his time as a crucial piece of the Hoos' front-seven.
