Born in Upstate New York, Charles’ father moved his family to Ohio where he took a position as pastor of a small denominational church. Canton Ohio, right down the road from the Football Hall of fame is where Charles’ stomping grounds are. Playing outside until dark and playing sports would summarize an amazing childhood.

Charles became one of the youngest individuals to complete BUD/S training and serve as a Navy SEAL. After his enlistment, he transitioned from military life to focus on building a family. He began working in private security, protecting some of the wealthiest billionaires in the world.

Later, Charles pursued his passion in fitness, starting a CrossFit gym in his garage. Over seven years and seven months he grew that small garage gym into a successful business that he eventually sold. His proudest achievement as a gym owner was that he created a very fun and family friendly atmosphere.

In 2019, Charles relocated to Texas to raise his family in a strong, faith-based, and freedom-loving state. Since then, he has published six books and now works as a business coach, helping entrepreneurs succeed by integrating faith and integrity into their professional lives.
