Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Charles developed a strong foundation of discipline, resilience, and competitiveness through participation in multiple sports, including soccer, football, kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and wrestling. His early commitment to excellence translated into consistent high achievement across all athletic and academic pursuits.

At Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, he excelled both on the field and in the classroom, playing defensive tackle and contributing to three state football championships. He graduated in 2003 with notable athletic honors, including All-Conference recognition in football and wrestling. These experiences reinforced his drive to succeed in every endeavor he undertakes.

Deeply rooted in his Catholic faith, he remains actively involved in volunteer work within his church and community, dedicating time to service-oriented initiatives that support others and reflect his values of compassion and stewardship.
