The quote below from Charlie’s bio best expresses his nature and the essence of the interview. I try not to take myself too seriously despite the fact that I undoubtedly take on serious challenges. I love adventure and I am fueled by testing myself to do things that push the far reaches of my ability, both physically and mentally. My chosen endeavors sometimes seem impossible and are often wrought with pain and even failure. Yet I’ve discovered that if I employ humor and laugh in the face of the grimmest of circumstances, I will survive and even enjoy almost anything.
