He is a retired Maintenance Supervisor with The Parking and Transportation Department at the University of Texas at Austin. Charles is also a contractor and owner of Multi-Construction and Cleaning Service, which has been in business since 1985.

Reading has always been a passion of LaVerne since childhood. She often refers to her elementary school librarian's advice to her, "always read, and you will lead." LaVerne is a native of Austin, TX and a retiree of The University of Texas at Austin, where she was employed as an Administrative Assistant in the McCombs School of Business Resource Development Office. She continues to do the accounting for Multi-Construction and Cleaning Service, as well as tutoring and coordinating the LTCEA tutoring program.
