TBS is built on a simple premise: the most valuable consulting is done by people who have actually done the work — not always those who have only studied it. With 19 years’ operating in the rail and transit industry, including service as Director of Operations at various transit authorities, Charles brings a perspective that no firm can manufacture.

His career spans Norfolk Southern, Canadian Pacific, RailUSA (Pinsly), SFRTA/Tri-Rail, MARTA, CATS, and CTS Engineering — freight corridors, commuter rail boardrooms, federal grant strategy, and active infrastructure project leadership on the $927M Northeast Corridor Rapid Transit Project.

"Every system I build, every relationship I develop, every project I deliver — it all feeds one goal. Building a firm that transforms how rail and transit agencies operate, plan, and grow."
