Hey there, I'm Charles and I've always been a pretty driven guy. Growing up as half White and half Asian has given me a unique perspective on the world and a strong sense of identity. My parents split up when I was young, so I had to learn how to navigate different cultures at home - my mom's from Taiwan and dad's from New York City.
I've always been into fitness and athletics; I started swimming competitively in high school as a way to stay focused during puberty. It turned out to be an awesome way for me to express myself physically, so I kept at it even after the competitions stopped. There's something about being underwater that just feels right - like my worries disappear.
These days you can usually find me training at the local indoor pool or getting lost in the city nightlife scene with friends. Swimming is my escape from reality; a chance for me to clear my head and get some serious exercise. When I'm not swimming, you can bet I'm out living life - always trying new things, meeting new people...just being that guy who doesn't back down from anything.
