Raised by a father who led a local hunting club, Charles’s earliest memories involve pursuing deer and fish, a passion he now shares with his two sons, emphasizing stewardship and conservation over trophy hunting. A self-taught angler who ties his own lures and reloads ammunition, he prefers hands-on experiences, trolling for catfish and offshore species like mahi, while instilling a DIY ethos in his children. Grounded in faith since his baptism at 12, Charles sees God’s hand in nature’s wonders and strives to model a godly life for his boys, drawing strength from Psalm 46:10 and his supportive wife, who helps him find peace amidst life’s challenges. __TopicsIntroduction & Outdoor Roots1:05 - Early Hunting & Fishing: Charles grew up huntingand fishing.
