Charles Stanley
Elio Aficionado
Hello, my name is Charles. From South Carolina originally, I have lived in Northern VA and now reside in Cumming Georgia. Went all in at $1k on an Elio last month. I studied Mechanical Engineering in the 1970's. I've worked in engineering a little. Most of my life I have been a serious martial artist (No not the watered down stuff seen in 99% of the so called martial arts schools). I owned my own martial arts school/Dojo fro many years. Retired now, I built my own dojo were I can train and teach a few private students. I also spent many years as a painter (houses and such ,not art). I reentered college and finished a BS degree in Computer Info Systems in 2003. My interests are mainly martial arts, science, engineering, lasers, and building things. I have learned that there is nothing I can't design and build if I want to bad enough. I always wanted to learn to weld, so I taught myself how. My passion is to design something from scratch and figure out what i need to build it and then build it. I'm very active right now in the Elio Motors Owners of Georgia facebook group. I look forward to both learning from others and i hope that I may be able to contribute something of value here too.
