Charles joined J.P. Morgan in 2026 after beginning his financial services career at William Blair Private Wealth Management.

Charles earned an M.B.A. from the Terry School of Business at the University of Georgia and a B.A. in philosophy from Morehouse College. He holds the Series 7 and Series 66 securities licenses.
Inspired by the opportunity to support individuals through life’s milestones, Charles brings a perspective shaped by his upbringing as the son of a pastor. Like his father, he focuses on supporting individuals as they navigate challenges, prepare for the future and make important decisions along the way. He views his role as a way to help clients not just build wealth, but intentionally shape the life they want to live.
Outside of work, Charles enjoys running, weightlifting and spending time on the golf course.
