My name is Charlie. I am building Orchard.

I am originally from Virginia, where I graduated high school.

I travel a lot as part of my work, and I spend my time in and around SF, Seattle, Central WA, and all throughout California.

This is my Twitter, I am most active here.

This is my Linkedin, I am rarely active here.

Some core values:

1. Don’t do tomorrow what can be done today.
2. If you want to build something, and people tell you it is impossible, but you think through every possible reason why it might not work and determine that none of those challenges can’t be overcome, then there is no reason not to try building it.
3. Always keep moving.

Some of my favorite companies:

1. Orchard Robotics
2. Flock Safety
3. Waymo
4. Matic Robots
5. Skydio
