Charles's Story
Life
After I graduated from high school I went to Michigan Tech to pursue an engineering degree. In 1992 I received my Associates degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. Afterwards I sought my 4-year BS in electrical engineering. Unfortunately, midway through my studies I went through several personal hardships. Eventually, by the time I got over those traumatic events I was no longer interested in being an engineer. This was around the year 1995.
I started a career in sales, leading to marginal success. I even got a management position. But I could go no further than where I was in that position and I knew I could do better. So late in the year 2000 I started thinking about not only leaving that management position, but leaving the area altogether. After lots of thought and research, a new home was chosen. In early 2001 I packed up and headed to my new home in Texas.
I stay in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, also known as the metroplex. It took a little time to adjust to life in north Texas, but I managed. I had some success here, and unfortunately, I had some failures. I have had plenty of opportunity to succeed here. In early 2006, I purchased a new home. Thank God--no more renting!!

owever, with new challenges looming in the long-term future I decided that it was time to take my career and turn towards new direction. So in late 2006 I went back to school to become a truck driver. I got my commercial drivers license in early 2007 and promptly took to the road.
In early 2009 I regretfully left the trucking business due to a contract dispute. I am currently driving locally but I am looking to start my own business so that I will not have to depend on someone else to write my paycheck.
It has recently been brought to my attention that both of my schools, grammar school and high school, both catholic, have been shut down. I suppose they were casualties of the Michigan economy or perhaps a consequence of the sex scandals in the Catholic church...or both.
What about my social life? I am currently single, in a relationship. I have several children. My oldest is currently a member of the class of '13. And my two other daughters will enter middle school later in the year...3 teenage girls...my hands are gonna be full. Wish me well.
My 'then' photo was my high school graduation picture. My 'now' photo was taken in late fall 2009. By the way, I took all of the photos in my photo album.
