Charles Lawrence

He was born October 27, 1946 with a twin brother, David A. Lawrence. They grew up in Homewood, Alabama and attended Shades Valley High School.

Charles graduated from Jacksonville State University in 1972 and married Rebecca "Becky" Nelson in 1974.

Following in his dad's footsteps, he owned the Hickory House Restaurant in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida for over 12 years. The rest of his career was spent with the National Federation of Independent Business - NFIB.
