Charles presently lives and works in central Texas near Austin, the state capital. He grew up in a suburb southeast of Houston where he attended local public schools. His hobbies as a teenager included music (guitar and accordion) and outdoor activities. After graduating from high school, he headed for St. Louis, Missouri to attend St. Louis University for two semesters. He then transferred to the University of Texas at Austin where he majored in modern languages and minored in business.
