His father’s parents came from Sweden; his mother, with her family, came from Belgium. Stable family values and work ethics were pivotal in his upbringing.
Carson's dream was to be a military pilot. He worked nights in a factory and construction during the day to earn money to complete two years of college. Passing U.S. Navy tests he was sent to Los Alamos’ Naval Air Station in California for pilots training.
Carson’s dream was shattered when they found inadequate peripheral vision. The military offered other options. He entered the Army’s Southeastern Signal School after Basic Training in California.
Carson served at Headquarters of the Third Infantry Division in Germany. He was assigned to Long Range Recon there.
Following military service he was hired by John Deere. He worked nights and through the GI Bill, completed daytime courses and improved his writing skills. He graduated from Augustana College in Illinois in 1974 with degrees in Economics and Business Administration.
He continued at Deere until 1984. He then moved to Michigan for employment in the Automotive Industry. There, as Corporate Senior Quality Engineer, he worked with customers such as; Daimler-Chrysler, Ford and GM as well as many top German, Italian, Japanese and Swedish manufacturers. Some of his products achieved World Class status.
In all seasons Carson, with his family enjoy outdoor recreational activities. Many camping, canoeing, skiing, fishing and backpacking trips are made into mountains or the forested north. Carson and his wife Rita were involved as coaches of their three son’s youth activities. Today they still enjoy close relationships with them at their home in Michigan.
