Even while building an impressive professional career, Charlie has always put his family first. He has been married 47 years to Linda Schwend Gressman. They have two sons and their daughters-in-law, Caleb and Hillary Gressman & Grant and Leslie Gressman. Charlie and Linda are the proud grandparents of five amazing children: Riley, Rowan, Hallie, Reese, and Colton.
