Carroll attended Georgia Southern University where he successfully graduated with a degree in Public Relations. Carroll then spent sixteen years in the extended agri-business industry which afforded him the opportunity to purchase an insurance agency specializing in long-haul trucking in 1990.

In 1999, Carroll purchased a second insurance agency that provided personal insurance to the local population. After profitably running these two agencies, he decided it was time to sell in 2006. Carroll's previous business experience in buying and selling has given him extensive knowledge and a great foundation as a Business Broker.
