Charles has always enjoyed whiskey and especially bourbon, however his passion about the story and the history of the spirit truly transpired after watching the documentary “Neat: The Story of Bourbon”. When he heard Freddie Johnson speak about the story within the liquor, Charles couldn’t wait to learn more about the history. Charles began researching his favorite bourbons and couldn’t stop talking to family, friends, well anyone who was willing to listen about his favorite brands.

During his research he came across Whiskey University and reached out to learn more. Upon enrollment to the Train the Trainers program he became even more passionate as he learned about the history and learned how to taste many different varieties.
