In Charlie’s free time (what little there is) he likes to spend time with his family taking the “road less traveled”. Over-landing, kayaking, hiking and fishing are what he likes to do to free stress.
Charlie will be creating herbed salts for cooking in the near future where he will be looking forward to input from community and friends.
