Cameron Carter joined the Washington University staff in the winter of 1995, coaching the men's and women's crew teams with the help of his assistant coaches.

In the intervening years, he has helped to rebuild the team after a season of set backs after the flood of 1993 destroyed the boathouse and most of the programs equipment.

After rowing for four years at Wichita State University, Carter continued on for a full year as an assistant coach for the novice men. He left Wichita State to act as the head club coach for Western Reserve Rowing Association in Cleveland Ohio. In Cleveland, he was responsible for coaching all members of the association. This included three high school programs, masters men and women, and several open rowers. At the conclusion of the summer, the masters women's own four gold medals at the Royal Canadian Henley.

In 1990, Carter coached masters rowers at Yankee Rowing Club before moving to Mount Holyoke College to coach for a year and a half in the Eastern Sprints league. He was then invited to fill an extra seat as a lightweight for the Minnesota Boat Club.

He moved next to coach the women's program at the University of Texas at Austin. Carter quickly began coaching the men as well. While at UT, his team won the all-points trophy two consecutive years at the Great Plains Rowing Championships in Topeka, Kansas.

The conclusion of the 1993 season saw five Texas crews make the semifinals at the Dad Vail Regatta, three continue on to the finals, and the women's pair come home with a gold. The men's four continued its season and competed in the Collegiate National Championships in Indianapolis finishing third behind Northeastern and Harvard.

Carter then returned to Wichita State to assist the program during a transition period. This was short lived, as he was soon to become the interim at Washington University. Since 2003, the rowing program has achieved solid performances in the DadVail Regatta in Philadelphia.

Carter and his wife, Susan, have three children: Casey (10), Riley (2) and Luke (1).
