Biography

Charles Davidson was born and raised in the mid-south.  After serving in both the Army and Navy, he graduated from the University of Arkansas with a Bachelor’s in International Relations and Middle Eastern Studies.  After college he taught English to the Afghan National Air Corps in Kabul, Afghanistan.  A year in Kabul strengthened his desire to work continually in conflict areas and to address sustainability issues at the community and regional levels.  In 2009, he founded an NGO, ForgottenSong, which works to establish self-reproducing, small business initiatives in war-torn countries and he has since lived/worked in Iraq, Afghanistan, Uganda, Lebanon, Colombia, Burundi, Jordan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 

After completing his Masters degree in Cultural Anthropology, his desire to focus on continued education drove him to apply to GMU. He now lives in Washington, D.C. and is married to his wife Abby.  Charles is also a Member National of the Explorer's Club and is part owner of a chocolate company, Hello Cocoa, based in Arkansas.
