Raised Roman Catholic with six siblings, Charles married his college sweet heart Gloria in 1973 when both were 20.

After college his plans to go overseas to Zambia Africa to teach never materialized as providence kept him in the US where he became an electrician. Charlie Klein, the electrician who taught him the trade, introduced him to the Biblical Christ, and to the Rev. Mark Pett.

Under Mark and Charlie's patient tutelage Charles was drawn to Christ. In the early 1980's he attended Chesapeake Seminary briefly where he started writing. The first chapter of his fourth book was written as the final for a course titled the "Attributes of God" and he has been writing ever since that experience. 

Today, Charles is the proud father of three daughters, the grandfather of eight wonderful grandchildren and one step-son, and he and his wife Gloria live in Summerfield Florida.

Charles is the founding member of Scribblers, a group of Christian writers, who meet for encouragement, and review of each members writing. Scribblers also serves as a network of resources for aspiring authors. More information is available at www.scribblersweb.com.

Charles currently serves as a board member for Northampton Press/Don Kistler Ministries, publishing Puritan works. He also serves as the President for Bee Natural Products, a company working with bee keepers and marketing their products.
