Hello, I’m Charlie Ouellette!

As you begin to consider transitioning away from the daily operations of the company you founded, I want to offer you a partner with proven character.

After graduating from Michigan State University with a B.A. in Economics, I spent 21 years serving as an Engineer Officer in the U.S. Army. During my career, I had the privilege of building and commanding elite teams of paratroopers at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and in the Army’s premier Arctic Brigade Combat Team in Alaska. I deployed on combat tours to both Iraq and Afghanistan, where I was twice decorated with the Bronze Star and awarded the Purple Heart.

Those intense operational environments honed my ability to collaborate closely with teammates and make high-quality, decisive choices under immense pressure.

Driven by a deep passion for the sciences, I later earned graduate degrees in Geological Engineering from the University of Missouri and Ecology from Cornell University. I then spent a decade teaching West Point cadets to be leaders of character through my instruction of chemistry, environmental science, and leadership at the U.S. Military Academy.

Let's work together to protect the legacy you’ve built and position your business for its next era of growth.
