Biography of Charles Petty

Dr. Petty was reared in the farming communities of England and Stuttgart, Arkansas. As a native of Arkansas he does indeed know President Clinton. When President Clinton was 11 or 12 years old, Dr. Petty was his rifle instructor at a Boy Scout camp! He formally learned about family and was educated in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Texas for 22 consecutive years - which means he is either well-educated or a little slow!

Dr. Petty has been a counselor and visiting professor on the staffs of large corporations in Texas and North Carolina, and for seven years was on the senior staff of the North Carolina Governor. He is founder and president of Family Success Unlimited, and since 1985, all he does is eat and speak. More important than what he knows is who he is. He and Jamie have been married over 30 years. They have two adult children, and a grandchild whom he promises not to mention!
