Born just outside Providence, RI in October 1963, Charlie is not only the "Resident Yankee" on the WSM staff; shockingly he's the only "Portuguese" staff member as well! A proud member of "Coffee, Country & Cody" since 2004, Charlie and his wife Renee' live near Nolensville and are the parents of a 10-year-old Pug named "Allie." Charlie loves the Boston Red Sox, English Premier League Soccer, the music of Mary Chapin Carpenter, the writing of John Steinbeck, and Apple Computers.
