Carpenter is Herenton's longtime campaign manager who has never run for elected office. He has said part of his campaign strategy is taking his campaign straight to the voters

In a press release, Carpenter said he's "ascended all odds" to become an attorney. His father was an independent dump truck driver who hauled dirt and gravel to runways at the Memphis International Airport.
