Charles is a highly motivated, experienced healthcare professional. I have worked with him in a variety of settings - from radio host to medical news writer. In each instance he has proven to have a keen sense of story selection, excellent, clear writing style and a proven ability to deliver, on time and with minimal supervision. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Charles again in the near future.

Charles Turck: A True Renaissance Man. It is as difficult to categorize Charles as it is to pinpoint or single-out any one project or production on which Charles and I have collaborated. Charles is one of my oldest, closest, and most trusted allies when it comes to ... well, anything and everything. Personally speaking, I adore Charles and the sense of pride he takes in everything he sets his sights on. I trust Charles with both the smallest of tasks right up through the most emotional of personal secrets, problems, and struggles I might speak with him about. As a business partner, writing partner, and fellow Board Member of my company, I trust Charles' integrity and his guidance in all things. Charles is someone whom I feel comfortable directing and being directed by -- be it on a creative, theatrical, or writing enterprise or a business venture. If you need a team player ... you want Charles. If you're looking for someone to lead your team ... you want Charles. If you require a person in whom you can confide ... you want Charles. This is a man who has a ferocious desire to accomplish great things AND who knows how to have a good time doing it. I don't know many people who put their nose to the grindstone (and stick with it to the end!) the way Charles does and I simply cannot wait to see what comes from him in the years ahead.
