Mr. Carrier currently serves as the owner and president of Carriers Construction, a company he established in 2019 in Palm Beach, Florida.

He is also tasked with conducting regular job site visits to monitor progress and quality, providing hands-on leadership and on-site guidance to project teams, resolving project issues and operational challenges as they arise, and coordinating with office staff to address urgent business and project needs. Among other goals, Mr. Carrier is in charge of maintaining direct client and stakeholder engagement throughout project delivery. His expertise in historical work distinguishes both him and his company within the industry, particularly in Palm Beach and Jupiter Island, where landmarked historical residences require specialized preservation.
Drawing from a unique background of working alongside his father on historical projects as well as custom homes, Mr. Carrier brings a rare blend of skills that set Carriers Construction apart from competitors. Throughout his tenure with the company, he has developed close alliances with world-renowned architects and interior designers. These relationships have facilitated successful collaborations across construction and historical preservation projects, enhancing the quality and integrity of the company's work.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Carrier managed his father's company in East Tennessee after earning his college degree. His journey into the construction field began at an early age under the mentorship of his father, a custom home builder and historical preservationist. During school breaks, Mr. Carrier worked alongside him, running crews on both historical renovations and custom home building projects. This hands-on experience provided him with invaluable practical skills that would later define his approach as a business leader. After completing his academic studies, Mr. Carrier chose to focus on building rather than engineering design, ultimately relocating to Palm Beach to establish Carriers Construction.
Mr. Carrier's educational background includes a bachelor's degree in engineering from East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee. The discipline acquired during his academic pursuits has been instrumental in shaping his methodical approach to construction management and problem-solving within complex projects.

Beyond professional responsibilities, he is actively engaged with civic organizations, such as serving as an ambassador for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and participating on the president's council for the Hobe Sound Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, Mr. Carrier has played an instrumental role on the expansion committee for Hannah's Home in Jupiter Island. The organization provides shelter and support for at-risk mothers and single moms experiencing homelessness. His contributions helped bring this vital resource to fruition, reflecting his commitment to stewardship and community enhancement.
A significant milestone in Mr. Carrier's career was receiving the Eagle Award for leading a community recreation center project that exemplified exceptional standards of difficulty, significance and community engagement. This recognition underscored his dedication to delivering projects that not only meet technical demands but also serve the broader community. Mr. Carrier credits much of his success to values instilled by his father, particularly a strong work ethic, perseverance and an appreciation for hard-earned achievement.
Looking ahead, Mr. Carrier envisions Carriers Construction becoming a recognized market leader while maintaining its reputation as Palm Beach's trusted contractor. He is dedicated to addressing gaps in hands-on technical skills among young professionals by launching an educational technical school under Carriers Construction that will offer free practical training opportunities for both recent college graduates lacking field experience and lower-income high school students considering career paths outside traditional academia. Through these endeavors, Mr. Carrier continues to demonstrate a steadfast commitment to preserving heritage while advancing opportunities for future generations within the construction industry.
