Father Time

by Grant Sizemore

Charlie Snow, known as Father Time, contends with the reminder that time is precious. The CrossFit athlete, local clocksmith, entrepreneur and resident of Manteo, North Carolina seeks to cherish the beauty of family around him.

Snow has found joy living in Manteo, NC since he relocated in 1988, mentioning he "wished [he] had moved here earlier." He hoped to better his health to remain fit for aviation. This sparked a desire to begin train in CrossFit. Although older than his peers, he found a community that accepted him as an equal within the gym.

Aviation charters and consulting, clock repairs, and karaoke and DJ services established a strong passion for entrepreneurship in Snow. These businesses have been crucial to establishing a rich passion for seeking out communities of his own. Beloved by his community members, he is creating a legacy of inspiration and belonging for those around him.

Sorrow shared is halved, and joy shared is doubled.
