Throughout high school, Charlevoix was active in sports, band, and was class president in his senior year. He attended Valpraiso University in Indiana, where he pursued a degree in broadcast meteorology. He interned at WGN-TV in Chicago.
After graduation from college, Charlevoix began working at WBKP/WBUP TV in Marquette. He also provided WKMJ-FM in Houghton with weather reports.
In his spare time, Charlevoix loves to travel, hunt, read, and participate in social activities.
