Charlie has been interested in Porsches most of his life. A subscriber to various car magazines since grade school, Charlie was always impressed with how Porsches seemed to do more with less.

Charlie purchased his first Porsche, a 1986 951, in the spring of 1993.

After enjoying the car for a few months, Charlie and his then girlfriend (now wife) Katie, took the car on track at Bridgehampton.  He became hooked on Porsche track driving immediately.
