CLASS OF 1971
Miami, FL

Charles's Story

Let me start by saying that I joined the Navy before I Finished High School at the tender age of 17. I enlisted in the Navy on my Birthday on July 16, 1970 as a volunteer for the Submarine service. I would have graduated from Southwest Miami High in June of 1971 had I remained in High school. I did eventually obtain a GED along with an Associates and two Batchelors degrees. I retired from the Navy at the end of May, 1993 after my last stint which was running the Submarine Sonar training Division at Naval Submarine School, New London Connecticut. I settled in Brevard County Florida(the Florida Space Coast),55 Miles East of the Orlando area. I took a job at a large RV retail chain in Central Florida as the Government contracts coordinator in June of 1993 until December, 1994 at which time I started my first company Temporary Disaster Shelters (TDS) providing post catastrophe housing for the insurance industry and FEMA. I owned TDS until April, 1998 at which time I sold the company to a competitor and formed a new company, North American Catastrophe Services (NACS)to build Mobile Command Post's for the public sector and mobile claims offices for the major insurance companies and after a two year period, I got back in to the business of providing temporary housing to F...Expand for more
EMA. During my tenure at NACS I provided over 11,000 units to FEMA following the multiple Florida Hurricanes of 2004 and Hurricane Katrina/Rita/Wilma in 2005. I was bought out by my partner in NACS in June, 2006 at which time I formed Mobile Disaster Structures (MDS) to concentrate on the temporary housing business which had been so lucrative over 2004 and 2005 and remain as the President and CEO the company and hold a current contract with FEMA for three bedroom manufactured homes through May of 2011. I raised three daughters who are all married and now have three grand daughters and one grand son (finally a boy) and needless to say they are at the center of my Universe. I collect "Playboy" magazines and am an avid audio/video enthusiast along with a very significant collection of music from the mid sixties through the mid eighties which I regard as the golden age of music. I am also an active car collector. I belong to several veteran organizations including The VFW, American Legion, Naval Submarine League and United States Submarine Veterans Inc. and am the Vice Commander of the local "Snug Harbor" base here in the Space Coast area. I am very much interested in hearing from my fellow School mates, please feel free to correspond via E-mail or this medium.
