He taught high school social studies in the Rochester City School District,at the American International School in Kuwait and at the International Scool of Port of Spain in Trinidad & Tobago.

 

Charles currently works for Dixon Schwabl, pumping out focused and compelling advertising copy that drives consumers into a buying frenzy. He is also the host of the award winning The Smart Set on Jazz 90.1 FM/Jazz901.org, the weekly spin with the swing scene.
