He just got his driver's license in Kristy's Big Day. Charlie's car is called the Junk Bucket which is described as sort of gray with scratches & dents and the fenders rusting. He drives Kristy (and later Abby) to the BSC club meetings and sitting jobs in their old neighborhood & gets gas money from the club treasury. He is also an excellent driver in the rain.

He taught Kristy the basics of baseball when she was little and helped her coach the Krushers Softball Klinic.
In Mind Your Own Business, Kristy!, Charlie recalled his mother showing him how write a check to help his mother pay the bills, after the bank called about a mortgage payment. He would also help feed David Michael late at night when his mom was exhausted. Kristy says that she really looked up to Charlie ever since.
Charlie used to share a bedroom with Sam. He also remembers holding Kristy when she was baby in Kristy and the Haunted Mansion.
In Kristy's Big Day, Charlie refuses to go to his father's wedding in California. Kristy tells a story where he once turned their white clothes pink and then used a yellow towel to make it look orange. He also cut everyone's hair to keep everyone from going to a barber.

In Graduation Day, it's mentioned that Charlie didn't start applying for colleges until it was on the late side. Charlie stayed up for three nights trying to write a letter to his future self. He writes that it's been tough since his dad left and how strong his mother been through it all. He calls Patrick Thomas a jerk and that they were fine without him. Charlie mentions how proud he is of himself to help his mom. He hopes that he's never irresponsible like his dad and tries hard in everything he does. He mentions that he really wants to go to college.
