The co-founder of MixMatchMusic, Charles is a multi-instrumentalist who has studied music his entire life. He was inspired to start the company in part by his immersion in the technologies that have revolutionized the music industry. Noticing the similarities between the human brain's networked structure, his field of study at UCLA, and the Internet, Charles began to look to the brain for a better understanding of what the Internet could become. Through this study, Charles has focused on creating better connectivity and information exchanged between groups of people centered around a common purpose.

The result is a continued effort to use technology to help connect musicians and fans around music. Who says you can't mix pleasure with work.

Prior to founding MixMatchMusic, Charles worked in an electrophysiology lab studying the kinetics of temperature sensitive proteins (TRP channels) at the Centro de Estudios Cientificos in Valdivia, Chile. The spanish-speaking lab was run as a community of scientists centered on the belief that they were doing something important for both themselves and the world. To that end Charles continues to strive.
