Charlie Marcotte was raised in New Hampshire, in a primarily single parent household with three sisters. He joined the Army when he was 17 and married his wife Diane when he was 20. After a brief stint in Real Estate, he started flipping cars from a 10’ by 20’ storage unit in Virginia. That early experience led to him becoming the owner and operator of American Pride Automotive, now with 4 locations and 7M in revenue. Charlie’s path has not been straight … anything but. He credits his success to being surrounded by a strong and supportive family, and sprinkling in a little grit.
