Charlie Hope

Self Storage Team

Charlie graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in Aerospace Engineering, and then pursued his childhood dream of becoming an Air Force fighter pilot. Three years, and over 400 jet-flight hours later, Charlie achieved the status of a mission-qualified F-16 pilot. Unfortunately, six months after graduation, Charlie was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and was told he could no longer fly in the Air Force. Though this was emotionally, devastating at the time, he was grateful for a second passion in life: real estate. Charlie holds a master’s degree in real estate development from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where his master’s thesis was focused on the maturation and resiliency of the self-storage asset class. Outside of working closely with his clients, Charlie enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, flying his small cherry red plane, training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and duck hunting.
