After serving as an Air Force Intelligence Officer for several years, Charlie joined Lockheed Martin, working in various roles in National Security Space, leading small satellite sales, technology maturation, cislunar development, and national-level satellite constellation development. After leaving LM, Charlie joined True Anomaly to drive their new business pursuits, most of which included rendezvous proximity operations, ground system development, and dynamic space operations for the USSF and similar customers. Charlie then moved to Advanced Space to lead their business development and sales.

Charlie is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, American Military University, and St. Bonaventure University and has completed various executive development and mentorship programs in prior roles.

Charlie is heavily involved with the aerospace community, helping to lead the AIAA Rocky Mountain Section and leading national security program development at USAFA. Outside of aerospace, Charlie is involved with the Denver International Airport Ambassador program (and previously served on the CATS program) and serves on the Board of Directors of Denver Sister Cities International.

As a huge proponent of the criticality of expanding to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, Charlie is extremely excited to be on the Advanced Space team and to help the U.S. gain the first-mover advantage into deeper space. As the commercialization of space and expansion continues, Charlie believes it is incumbent upon the U.S. and Allies to develop the domain and to educate the public on why space matters for all.
