Carter Max Green was born in Safford, Arizona, on July 6, 1953.
Carter was the first son of the late Max John Green and Nathalene Carter Green. Carter attended Safford Schools and graduated from Safford High School. While in High School Carter worked for CKC construction company operating heavy equipment. He was exceptionally talented with machinery and was a skilled tractor operator on the farm by the age of seven. While he was on a job for CKC, a contractor watched him work and offered Carter a job with his company in the Phoenix area. Carter moved to the Mesa area and remained there the rest of his life. He had his own successful demolition company, ACR Contracting.
