BORN IN THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE AND RAISED IN THE LONE STAR STATE, CHARLIE HAS ALWAYS APPROACHED LIFE WITH A PASSION FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND HARD WORK. HE STARTED COLLEGE AS A COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJOR, BUT GOT BIT BY THE ACTING BUG HIS JUNIOR YEAR, AND ENDED UP WITH A THEATER DEGREE. HE PURSUED THAT CAREER TO NEW YORK AND LA, WHERE HE ACTED IN EVERYTING FROM SHAKESPEARE TO IMPROV COMEDY SKETCHES, UNTIL A FRIEND INTRODUCED HIM TO EDITING AND HIS TRUE CALLING CAME INTO FOCUS. HE HAD FINALLY FOUND THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF HIS TECHNICAL AND CREATIVE PURSUITS, AND JUMPED IN WITH BOTH FEET. THAT WAS 2001. HIS ODYSSEY LED HIM FROM RUNNER TO ASSISTANT TO EDITOR OVER THE COURSE 5 YEARS. IN 2006 HE CUT HIS FIRST SHORT, HIS FIRST FEATURE AND HIS FIRST STAND ALONE SPOT.
