Born on August 15, 2003, in Decorah, Iowa, Karter is the son of Ryan and Michelle (Berge) Einck. Karter grew up in Decorah and was baptized and confirmed at Glenwood Lutheran Church where he was a member.
Karter was a senior at Decorah High School and was preparing to attend college at Iowa Central Community College and had plans to transfer to UNI to study Business.
