Following his military service, Charles settled in the Pacific Northwest for 13 years calling Tacoma, Washington home for most of them.
After various challenges and setbacks, a successful stint in real estate allowed him to pursue his interests with more freedom, eventually leading him and his family to Lawton, Oklahoma, where his wife now works in admissions at Cameron University.
These days, when he’s not immersed in research on AI and machine learning, you might find Charles spending time with his wife, their 11-year-old child, and their three energetic dogs. He’s an avid reader, a lifelong learner, and a firm believer that technology can shape a better future.
