Meet The Founder
Charles Price - 'Coach Chuck'
Charles Leon Price Jr. aka Coach Chuck was born on May 29, 1975 to the lovely Sharon White Price and the late Charles L. Price Sr. in Saint Petersburg, Florida. By the time he had reached puberty, he had developed a love and fascination for the glamour and hustle of the streets. Unfortunately, this roguish life that he so admired soon begun to take a downward spiral, plunging him into a life of delinquency and crime.
At the age of twelve, he had already been introduced to the juvenile justice system. By fourteen, he was serving time for armed robbery. By age seventeen, he was a high school dropout who spent his days smoking marijuana, which would eventually lead to his relentless encounter with cocaine. But God was still in charge.
While serving time for carjacking and possession of crack cocaine, Coach Chuck realized that the type of person he had become wasn’t the person whom God created him to be, and the life he had lived was definitely not the life that God had intended for him. Armed with a newfound love for the Lord, he abandoned his thuggish lifestyle and embraced his desires to develop and intimate relationship with Christ and God’s purpose for his life
At the age of twenty-one, Coach Chuck found and accepted his call to preach and instruct the nations in the Word of God. He has become a noted and highly requested speaker to ministry leaders and laity and whose heartbeat is to see leaders unite to ensure that God’s plan for mankind is executed.
With a deep sincere passion for accomplishing just that, Coach Chuck has devoted himself to the time, the labor and the sacrifice required to help administer the leaders of the local church and its laity into a domain of order. In addition to his faith-based purpose, Coach Chuck has committed himself to the progression of all people from every walk of life. He uses platforms such as podcasting, one on one coaching sessions, personal development sessions, authoring, leadership clinics and speaking engagements to propel individuals and groups alike to take the next step and pursue their desired end.
Coach Chuck is an active entrepreneur where he is the Owner of S.H.E.B.A. Enterprises Inc. Which serves as the umbrella for CP Hauling 42, a junk removal and dumpster rental business, Felons Ain’t Failures Podcast, a podcast aimed at inspiring Felons to “Live Life By the Advantage” and a newly converted content-creation studio (FAF Studio), where his team manages the entire production process for new podcasts.
As a Justice Impacted Man of God, Author, Coach and Speaker, Coach Chuck truly gives God the glory and attests that without God he was nothing but only through God’s Love he has been blessed to become who he is today.
