He was baptised in Denmark as "Boy Duike Marcus Carl Christian Carstensen" but was known as "Carl". When he was about nine his parents became Mormon converts and decided to emigrate to Utah but couldn't afford the fares for the whole family so first sent their two oldest sons along with missionaires named Jensen. Carl and his brother Chris probably spent their first months with a Mormon family but by 1887 their parents came with the two youngest children. Carl was a hard worker and by age 13 was working as a messenger. He married young and held a number of jobs over the next few years including a stint as a dance instructor. By 1912 he had joined Salt Lake City's police force. Many articles on his activities as a police officer over the next eleven years can be found in the Salt Lake Tribune.
