Norcross City Councilman
Charlie has managed engineering, marketing, and manufacturing operations, often with profit-and-loss responsibility, which gave him broad and diverse experience. He believes his best skills include gathering facts to analyze problems, �active listening�, and a proven ability to build working teams out of diverse groups. These skills are precisely those needed to address the challenges facing Norcross today. There is no real difference in business and government when it comes to working with people to resolve problems!
Charlie�s military service included Naval ROTC at Notre Dame, then four years of service as an officer on the staff of Admiral Hyman Rickover, who was responsible for development of our nuclear Navy.
His education includes a BS at Notre Dame and an MS at Purdue in electrical engineering, plus a Navy MS-level course in nuclear reactor engineering, and then an MBA at Fairleigh-Dickinson University. These were followed by numerous management training courses at the above companies.
He has been an �activist� (per the AJC�s Rick Badie) in addressing Norcross issues for the past five years, and a councilman for the past two years. He is a regular volunteer for the Norcross Art Fest and Historic Holiday Home Tour. For relaxation, Charlie enjoys playing tennis and working at keeping his historic house in downtown Norcross in good repair. He has been married to Edie for fourteen years, has four grown children, and now has five grandchildren.
