As a Washington State native and graduate from the University of Washington, but not a fan of the gray and drizzly weather, his family decided to migrate to the warmer climate of Scottdale, Arizona. There he shares a home with his wife, Sheri (whom, on a blind date he fell in love with at first sight). Their two grown daughters live in Tucson, where they stayed after graduating for the University of Arizona – go Wildcats.

On any given weekend morning, Charles is likely to be keeping an eye on his favorite English soccer team, the Tottenham Hotspurs of Premier League Soccer. The remainder of the weekend is divided between reading, gardening, enjoying outdoor activities, or sampling local new restaurants.
