In Honor of our

Founder and Chief Strategist

Charly Schell

In July 2022, a tragic plane crash claimed the life of Charly Schell and his beloved wife, Kelli Schell.

Charly was well respected for his knowledge, vision, and leadership. He will always be an unforgettable part of us, as a company and as individuals. Part of his enormous legacy is the multitude of lives that he made better.

While Charly and Kelli dedicated their lives to the betterment of just about everyone they met, they were also passionate about helping children. Their focus was on the toughest kids in the world…those with ailments, physical challenges, foster kids and the growing number of kids who have lost a military parent.

In the spirit of Charly and Kelli, we continue to encourage awareness of their charity - Toughest Kids, Inc., which directly supports healing through life experiences for children with adverse circumstances.
