Charles T. James

When I was 8, a teacher asked my Mom what made me tick. She told him: "Charles loves building new things, helping people and talking. He really loves talking."

True then. True now. While I'm no longer making slingshot rockets and mowing old ladies' lawns, I'm definitely coming up with new ideas to help people everywhere... and of course, I'm telling anyone who'll listen.

My most recent project CrimsonBikes is a bike sharing program at Harvard that is the first US bike share to operate at a profit. Hand-in-hand with its goal for sustainability is its mission to make biking accessible to as many people as possible.

When I'm not trying to save the world, I'm entertaining it. You can occasionally find me on stages around Boston in some capacity - either performing stand-up comedy or acting.
