CHARLES L. R. DOUGHERTY

According to the bio on his website, Charles L. R. Dougherty is originally from Savannah, Georgia.

"With an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering, an MBA, and a law degree, he embarked on a corporate career which spanned over 25 years. He worked for a number of companies in the telecommunications and data communications field, starting as an engineer and finishing as a corporate vice president. He left the corporate world to participate in high-tech startup companies and started a consulting practice to help entrepreneurs with business issues, including raising venture capital.

In 2000, with the children grown, he and his wife decided to leave the rat race while they could still run. Avid sailors, they stored or gave away their accumulation of "stuff" and dropped the docklines. They've been cruising full-time since then aboard Play Actor, their sailboat, and have been exploring life in the Eastern Caribbean since 2004."
