About Charles

I have been the CIO at MSC Industrial Supply (a $3 billion Fortune 1000 firm) for the past 10 years. I have spent a good part of my career developing very successful eCommerce sites for large companies. I lead a department of over 300 IT professionals and I am an executive officer of my company. I take great pride in being a business person, as well as the IT leader for the company.

Outside of the office, I have been married to my wife Linda for 27 years. We have 2 wonderful children in college and a giant mastiff named Duke. I am active all the time. I run obstacle races like the Spartan and Tough Mudder. I am an avid scuba diver and expert down hill skier. When I am at home with the family, I love to cook and collect wine.
