Our Team

Charles is an optician with almost 20 years experience, having started in 2007. He has worked in labs manufacturing glasses as well as dispensing, giving him an in-depth knowledge of lenses and how they work. He gained his American Board of Opticianry certification in 2017. Fun fact: while in the Navy, Charles's job was to operate and maintain propulsion systems; something that has nothing to do with optical services.
