He attended public schools in Orem and was part of the first graduating class of Orem High School in 1957. He earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Brigham Young University in 1961. He worked as a CPA for over 40 years. Charlie served in the Utah National Guard for 10 years, earning the rank of Sergeant First Class leading a platoon specializing in demolition.

He married the love of his life, Carol ReNay Bates, on June 19, 1964, in the Idaho Falls Temple. They made their home in Orem and welcomed 6 children, 23 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren into their family. He was also very devoted to his parents and siblings.
