He began his professional career as Chief Estimator for a privately held residential developer in Chicago and then joined Cambridge Homes as a Contracts Manager.

Charles came to Atlanta for the first time as Division President for McBride & Son, a position he held until 2008 when he founded Stonecrest Homes.
