As an Eagle Scout from the Boy Scouts of America, Charley learned to be a leader in his community and in his work environment. The skills that he learned have been applied to benefit himself, his employer, and his community.

Most recently, Charley worked at Mineral County School District as a Sixth Grade Math and Science Teacher at Hawthorne Elementary School during the 2024 School Year. Charley was forced to resign his position early due to personal health issues, as well as family health issues, that required more advanced medical access than was available in Hawthorne. While Charley has decided he is not interested in returning to the realm of education, this experience further solidified his passion for training.

Charley is a medically retired Sheriff's Deputy with 9 years of experience ranging from Patrol to in the Jail. During his time in Law Enforcement, he was trained as a Hostage Negotiator and Field Training Officer. After obtaining his Basic POST Certificate, Charley went on to obtain the optional Intermediate and Advanced POST Certificates to further his education and effectiveness on the job. Charley also took his personal time to learn to be a Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technician (NREMT) and studied to ensure that he was ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Saving) Certified to better serve his community.

While never being called upon to act as a Hostage Negotiator in the field, Charley used the skills that he learned in that class and the skills that he learned in his profession to de-escalate and mediate issues that he ran into on the job.

As a Field Training Officer, Charley used his skills to foster new recruits to excellence. Charley has always had a passion for training and was called upon in every job to train the new employees. In an effort to ensure all recruits were able to excel, Charley created manuals that streamlined the processes of the jail.
