Charley's journey has taken him from the eastern farm hills of Kansas to military service, college administration, and the real estate industry. He has degrees in business and education plus an extensive background in management. His career as a professional entertainer and author began later in life. What he shares-in an inspirational, humorous, or informational way-is a direct reflection of his life experiences. Many of his stories are of various people he's met along the way, some who inspired him, some who opened doors, and a few who tried to discourage him. He also tells of life events that challenged the depth of his faith and situations that gave him hope, inspiration, and courage to follow his dream. His research on student debt has given him a unique insight into the social and economic impact of this oftentimes overwhelming albatross. His books are directed toward parents with a focus on college cost, impact of long-term student loan debt, and career choices. He believes it's important for parents to work with their children in developing self-reliant plans to minimize dependence upon student loans while focusing on the right college degree and financial freedom. One of his books, Debt-Free College Education or a Debtor's Burden?, challenges the way parents, students, and educators approach a college education. Charley's goal is to encourage them to choose the path of opportunity and financial literacy versus one of student loans, credit card debt, and debt suffocation. The Debt-Free College Education series is designed to assist and guide parents as well as educators in helping future collegians develop self-reliant attitudes in their career pursuits along with realistic financial plans.
