He currently works for FSSA’s Division of Family Resources, where he works as the Director of Contract Compliance. In his spare time, he writes fiction and does freelance copywriting.
Mr. Carter authored his debut novel, “In the Belly of the Bell-Shaped Curve,” which is a dramatic comedy that explores the individual costs of America’s toxic work philosophy and culture and the obsession with productivity in an entertaining and satirical style. His writing has received praise, including being featured by Reader Views and a positive write-up from Kirkus Reviews. He recently finished his second novel, titled “Unborn Soul.”
