Altitude

The book

Built from the field.

Altitude begins with a tumor on a screen and an unexpected realization: the life Charlie had built was still unfinished, but it had not been unlived. Part memoir and part practical compass, the book explores trust, competence, marriage, mortality, adventure, betrayal, second acts, and the quiet danger of postponing life until everything feels settled.

Through stories from entrepreneurship, Scouting, cancer, family, and the trail, Charlie offers four grounding questions: What is true? What matters? What will hold? What begins now?
