In high school he excelled in football (playing quarterback), basketball, and baseball. However, it was in high school that Mrs. White, his former music teacher, discovered he could sing. She encouraged him to sing in the church and high school choir. In high school Charles competed at the state level three times. As a high school senior, Charles won the 12A state solo championship, by singing “I Believe." Charles never missed a day of school from first through the 12th grade.

Charles professed his life to Christ at an early age. In Luling, he was a member of William Taylor Methodist Church, and when he moved to San Antonio he attended Big St. Paul Methodist Church. While attending Big St. Paul, he joined the City Choir. In 1965 he became a member of Antioch Baptist Church where he remained a faithful member until his passing. Charles was a Deacon and thoroughly enjoyed leading Wednesday Nights Prayer Meetings and singing in the choir. After leaving Trinity University, he went on to work for H.E.B.'s Warehouse as a supervisor and retired after 20 plus years. After his retirement from HEB, he decided to work for the City of San Antonio and retired after 10 more years. While working for the City, he decided to work part time at Casa Rio's Restaurant on the Riverwalk for 7 years. He continued his employment at Casa Rio until March 2020.
