The Lumberton, NJ native played his college soccer at Marshall University (1999-2002) where he remains the school’s all-time goalscoring leader, and was elected to Marshall’s athletics hall of fame. He was drafted by the Kansas City Wizards in the sixth round of the 2003 Major League Soccer Superdraft, but ended up playing in the United Soccer Leagues for the Cincinnati Riverhawks of the Pro Soccer League (now called the USL Second Division). After half a season with them, he was transferred to the Wilmington Hammerheads of the PSL. The highlight of his time with the Hammerheads was assisting twice in the club’s 4-1 US Open Cup upset of Major League Soccer’s Dallas Burn (now known as FC Dallas).

After his first professional outdoor season, Carmichael spent the 2003/04 season with the Philadelphia Kixx of the Major Indoor Soccer League before joining Ocean City FC (then known as the South Jersey Barons) in the summer of 2004. That year, he helped the club to their historic undefeated regular season in the PDL, and later signed with the Utah Blitzz of the USL’s Pro Soccer League (PSL). Carmichael would make an impact in Utah, scoring the equalizing goal in the 80th minute of the PSL championship game, which the Blitzz would eventually win on penalty kicks over the Charlotte Eagles.
After the 2004 season, he returned to South Jersey and helped the club with their move to Ocean City prior to the 2005 campaign. He scored 10 goals and dished out four assists in 2005 and helped the Barons make a run to the third round of the US Open Cup. In 2006, he totaled six goals and four assists and topped that in 2007 with nine tallies and another four helpers. Carmichael also scored the lone goal in Ocean City’s 1-0 upset of Crystal Palace Baltimore (USL-2) in the first round of the 2007 US Open Cup.
After scoring six goals in a disappointing 2008 season, he bounced back with a career-high 11 goals to lead the way to the best overall season in club history. In addition to leading the team to a pair of playoff wins and an appearance in the PDL quarterfinals, he also scored two goals in another Open Cup upset over Crystal Palace Baltimore. He was named TheCup.us Player of the Round and helped the club upset Real Maryland Monarchs, also of USL Second Division, helping the club reach the third round where they lost to DC United of MLS.
