Stephen Levi Carter
Stephen Levi Carter, MBA, PMP, is an American entrepreneur, author, and business strategist renowned for his transformative impact on healthcare staffing, veteran and minority business advocacy, and youth entrepreneurship. He is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sterling Staffing Solutions, a leading Texas-based healthcare staffing firm, Founder and President of White Orchid Hospice, and co-author of the Amazon best-selling business book Double Your Success: Principles to Build a Multimillion-Dollar Business.
Early Life and Education
He earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from Langston University in 1993 and later received his MBA from the University of Houston-Clear Lake, with a concentration in Change Management and Finance.
Entrepreneurial Ventures
Carter's entrepreneurial instincts emerged early. In 1983, alongside his twin brother, Dr. Sterling Carter, he launched a lawn care business. While serving in the military, the brothers operated a boot shining service. Stephen later founded several ventures, including a tax preparation service, barbershop, event planning firm, and a jazz lounge—all while maintaining his corporate career.
In 2011, the Carter brothers co-founded Sterling Staffing Solutions, which supplies licensed clinicians—physical therapists, occupational therapists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals—to healthcare organizations across Texas. The company has earned national recognition and multiple placements on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.
In 2015, inspired by his father's end-of-life journey, Carter founded White Orchid Hospice, an in-home hospice agency focused on compassionate and personalized care.
He later expanded his healthcare holdings with Cartera Health LLC, Home Health Pro LLC, and MyMedCred LLC, while also launching the Young Millionaires Series, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on equipping youth with entrepreneurial skills.

Carter co-authored the Amazon book Double Your Success (ForbesBooks, 2018) with his brother, Dr. Sterling Carter.
