The Home Team
Carter’s biggest supporters are his family.
Carter met Meghan while surfing at Tourmaline Beach in San Diego, where Carter was stationed and Meghan was starting her career as an occupational therapist. Carter and Meghan have moved a lot, from California, to Washington state, back to California, to Naples, Italy, to Philadelphia, and, finally, to Nashville.
Carter and Meghan are proud parents to two boys and an Australian Shepherd:
Quinn (4) - expert in savannah animals and playgrounds
Walker (2) - chief distraction manager
Finn (8) - professional herder and frisbee catcher
You can find the Eltzroths on a hike or in a nature center, exploring local zoos, playing in the (shallow) end of the pool, or enjoying evening popsicles.
Why 'Pine Harbor'
The name 'Pine Harbor' is a reflection of two areas of Carter's life...
Growing up, Carter spent a lot of time in the outdoors, under the pine trees of New England. His first job was leading canoe trips for young men as a camp counselor. He learned a lot about himself and what it means to be responsible for others, overseeing every aspect of multi-day and multi-week excursions across lakes and down rivers.
After college, and after working for a few years, Carter embarked on his next adventure and joined the US Navy. He was commissioned as a Surface Warfare Officer and learned to drive warships. Life at sea, and pulling in and out of harbors around the world, was transformational for Carter, exposing him to high levels of responsibility and stress. Carter was fortunate to be surrounded by incredible leaders and mentors, both above and below his rank, who shaped him into a trusted mariner and naval officer.
