personal trainer and licensed massage therapist. He is the owner and
director of Excel Sports International, Inc., located in Cape
Canaveral, Florida. Charlie brings over 10 years experience in
clinical massage and twelve years experience in personal training to
Excel’s Health Education Team.
Charlie serves as a health and fitness consultant
for Florida TODAY newspaper, and is frequently quoted as an expert
source in its published fitness articles. A talk he presented to the
newspaper’s employees was judged to be among the most popular given
as part of the organization’s on-going "Brown Bag Lunch" series.
Charlie was chosen by the Olympic Athletic
Committee to treat athletes at the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta.
His clinical experience includes rehab work to
orthopedic surgeons and chiropractors. He has worked extensively
with University of Florida athletes in the areas of track and field,
baseball, tennis, golf, and gymnastics. He has trained and treated
Olympic track and field Gold Medalists Mark Everett, Dennis Mitchell
and Michelle Finn.
Charlie developed the sport massage internship at
the University of Central Florida and taught sports massage at Reese
Institute in Orlando and the Space Coast Massage Institute in Cocoa
Beach. He has spoken to many civic groups
throughout Brevard County and Central Florida. He is frequently
called upon to visit elementary school children to talk with them
about the importance of eating properly, especially with regard to
brain power and athletic prowess!
In simple terms, Charlie tells you - no matter
what your age, gender, economic status or education level - what
foods you should eat to stay young, fit and trim, and which foods to
avoid like the plague! Which minerals, vitamins and proteins are
vital for staving off middle age aches and pains and keeping your
body healthy. How to make the connection that what we eat and do
determines what we are and what we can be.
His approach is fresh, provocative,
humorous, and no nonsense. In follow up surveys, he rates highest
among the speakers and is frequently sought after through word of
mouth referrals.
