   Who We Are
 

Tom Carter- Founder and CEO
Tom Carter founded SportsMD and GolfersMD.com to bring together three passions in his life- sports, health and helping others. An avid golfer with a 5 handicap and a former collegiate All-American athlete, Tom recognized a need in the health and sports industry to create a web-portal committed to improving the health and performance of athletes and golfers around the world.

In the true spirit of an entrepreneur, Carter became dedicated to making his vision of establishing SportsMD and GolfersMD.com a reality. Using his own capital to fund the launch of SportsMD, while holding down a day job, Carter worked countless nights, weekends and holidays to get SportsMD off the ground. Tom has brought a long and successful business background with 20 years experience as a leader, building and managing high achieving teams in the exploding industry of network wireless for Alcatel-Lucent.

Carter received his Bachelors from West Chester University and resides in Easton, CT with his wife of twelve years, Letitia and their three sons, Thomas 9, William 7, and Ben 4.
