Charles Glassey

I was born in Pekin, Illinois which is the center part of the state. I and my two older brothers grew up like so many kids in the midwest enjoying sports,hunting and fishing. My parents ran a real estate business in our garage. So I would walk out the door of the house and be in a thriving business. Living in the city where I did it was the best of both worlds. We had access to Chicago but straight across from our house was a farm. After High School I joined the Air Force and was stationed in Italy where I met my wife Pat. I spent 3 great years in Italy. Our daughter Hillary was born there. After coming back to the states I took a job in insurance sales in Florida. I also went to Eckerd College in the evenings and obtained my degree in business. Things went well with insurance but I noticed I had a talent for advertising so I took a job for a national financial publisher, Summit Business Media. During the 11 years I was there I learned about print and digital advertising. As an account executive I enjoyed working on companies' advertising to grow their businesses. Most recently I have started my own Advertising Agency, Top Agent Media LLC. We do traditional, digital, and online marketing.
