Introducing Charles Beard. Charles is the First Vice President, Consumer Advocacy Operations Risk Senior Project Manager for Suntrust Banks and also the cousin of our host. Charles or 'Jeff' as his family calls him, is a proud HBCU graduate that marched in the band during a time when marching bands on television were at its peak on BET. That exposure made lots of us attend these schools, so talking with someone that marched in that time is valuable. Charles has gone on to do great things from his time in college and we are honored for his time in this podcast.
