Charles is president of an organization he created, “Feed Frederick” that is climbing towards his goal of raising 50k in food supplies and money since its inception! He’s also a part of many different clubs at Oakdale, including FCA, SGA, French, senior class, leadership academy and perhaps most fun–spike ball!

Charles is very ready to graduate and is anticipating his next steps. He’s closing out his senior year with a trip to Quebec via French club. Crazily, he returned from that trip the day of this portrait session! Yes, you heard it–he literally pulled in on from a 12 hour bus ride the day of his portraits. Oh and had a quick doctor’s appointment right before hand as well!

Where his next steps for college will lead is still a question mark. His top choices are Naval Academy, Virginia Tech and Un. of Miami.

Charles’s athletic pursuits have taken a wide range. He’s a competitive swimmer, tennis player and football player. He’s also branching out into musical pursuits with guitar and keyboard. He’s currently taking piano lessons and had his first recital recently.

Charles’s musical interests go even deeper. He’s been in 3 musicals and has participated in Destination Imagination which is a Stem based challenge. In this, actors compete with skits and props against other teams for the most creative presentations. His team built an Eiffel Tower with a roller coaster inside it! If that comes to reality–I think the lines just doubled!

Charles has also pursued acting and been a part of several big productions. Clifford the Big Red Dog: he’s the neighbor you’ll see in the last 5 minutes of the show. His favorite part of this experience–getting to live in NYC for 2 weeks and the actor’s food buffet! He’s been in Swagger as a preppy kid featured on Apple Plus tv. Swagger is a show about Kevin Durant’s Life.

Charles has also been in a Hershey Park and American Red Cross commercial. He’s also appeared in a short film, Monocacy. Charles uses the Backstage app to check for opportunities to act. He gets called up through this and has loved his time in the acting world.

Charles has recently earned his Eagle Scout via a little free library project he created for residents of Frederick. The hours of service and dedication this sash represents. I wonder about the stories that must race through his mind as he reviews all he’s done.
