About Charles — Guided by Grace, Driven by Purpose

Empowering Growth Through Strategy, Leadership & Coaching

With more than 25 years of experience in leadership, education, and contract management, I bring a holistic approach that goes far beyond traditional coaching. My background includes mentoring, teaching, coaching, and tutoring at both the secondary and collegiate levels, blending academic depth with practical insight and strategic execution. I’ve successfully helped, mentored, and guided students while managing complex operations with a focus on purpose, accountability, and long-term growth.

I hold a B.S. degree in Chemistry and Math Education and an MBA in Business Management. Over the course of my career, I’ve taught business courses at both the undergraduate and master’s level, as well as advanced mathematics courses for more than 25 years. I also hold several professional certifications, including one from Harvard University in Leadership and Communication.

As a multi-award-winning instructor and recognized leader, I’m proud to bring a track record of excellence, innovation, and impact across every space I serve. I’m also a board-certified sports psychology coach, master wellness coach, real manifesting practitioner, and certified across multiple coaching disciplines. In addition, I’m a licensed and certified combat sports professional and a trained expert in negotiation and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) education, equipping individuals with the mindset, tools, and clarity they need to move forward with confidence and purpose.

My greatest passion lies in working with youth, young adults, and athletes, supporting their growth from the inside out. Whether I’m in the classroom, on the court, in the school gym, on the football field, or in the boxing ring, octagon, or cage, my mission remains the same: to help youth and athletes believe, grow, and succeed, mentally, emotionally, and professionally.

I’m also a proud father and grandfather, deeply passionate about helping the next generation step into their full potential with strength, integrity, and purpose.

In addition to my work in coaching and mentorship, I’ve also written a book that many have found inspiring and uplifting — especially for today’s youth.

From My Heart to Yours: A Guide for Young People Finding Their Way, Ten Mindsets to Embrace for Teenage Success, Happiness, and a Determined Path in Life is more than a book; it’s a mission to uplift and empower the next generation.

This book is for young people and anyone seeking emotional growth, clarity, and purpose. It introduces ten powerful mindset shifts that help build inner strength, resilience, and direction for life’s journey.
