Charles (Charlie) Bishop was raised to believe in his country as a third-generation military veteran. At 18 he joined the United States Air Force where he earned his Masters Degree in Public Administration. After 20 years of service, and as a retired veteran, Charlie found another way to serve. In 2001 he started his career as a Project Manager and found a place to call home in Manatee County.
In 2002, Charlie was ready to take his passion for his work to the next level and earned his Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification from the Project Management Institute. Charlie’s determination to make a difference grew, and through education and experience he soon advanced his career into management. In addition to his role as a Project Manager, he has served as the Facilities Services Manager, Infrastructure Division Manager, Construction Services Division Manager, and, for the almost 12 years, the Director of Property Management.
