The Diligence Group is an economic development consulting firm specializing in economic development and site location consulting and collaboration for entrepreneurs, Economic Development organizations, governments, and companies across all industry segments.
Something unique about Charlie is that he is Ambidextrous
His favorite thing to do in his downtime… He admires those who are good story tellers- those that have a skill to go out of their way to create a narrative that speaks to the human experience. Storytelling is an art that gives better context, purpose, and meaning, to what we are trying to say. So, in his downtime - he takes “road trips” to visit museums, lectures, and checkout Storytelling mediums.
Something he is most proud of: His wife - Donna; for not moving on and sticking with him. Putting up with a work-a-holic, over-achiever, and quite frankly, a once difficult person. She continues to straighten him up and helps him be a better person - which makes him very proud of her. He wishes he had her wisdom.
