Brock Maxfield, the Hoquiam High School vice principal, recalls that Carriker always had a book with him as he walked through the halls at school — be it a novel or a book on philosophy. "He was a good kid," he said. "He was always reading. He was smart." He said Carriker, who moved to Hoquiam during high school, often talked about joining the military when he graduated, possibly in the field of intelligence. "He was excited about it," Maxfield said. "He wanted to go into special forces. He really wanted to learn other languages."
