Personality Bio
Charlie Sherman was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts where he spent his formative years attending the Shurtleff School and graduating from Chelsea high school, where he was elected class president.
Following high school, Charlie attended the Leland powers school of radio, television and theatre. upon graduation, the Sherm broke into radio spinning records at beautiful music station WBOS and hosted a local sports call-in show on WUNR. One of the sponsors on the sports show was Charlie’s home town bank. One day while chatting with the vice president of the bank, Charlie was asked if he was interested in becoming a bank teller. He declined the offer and continued working in radio. about six months later, Charlie’s then girlfriend, (now his wife) told him he should consider getting a real job, so Sherm called the guy at the bank and thus began a very colorful chapter in the life of Charlie Sherman.
While working as a teller, Charlie continued working in radio on a part time basis, but after six months in the bank business, the same vice president offered him an opportunity to get into the management training program. The down side to this was Sherm had to give up his radio job and go back to college and work towards a degree in business. Ten years later Charlie was vice president/treasurer of commonwealth bank/Norfolk.
In 1981, Charlie got a call from an executive search company telling him about a job in the seacoast of New Hampshire. After a couple of months of negotiation, the Sherman’s' decided to relocate to Rochester New Hampshire, where Charlie accepted a position as regional vice president with Indian Head Bank.
While out on a business development call to WWNH radio, Charlie got a tour of the station and before he left, he had become the play by play man for Spaulding high school football. The Sherm had the radio bug again and once the football season ended, he became the morning sports anchor. Once he got off the air, Charlie would head down the street and
open the bank.
In 1984 Charlie moved to WTSN radio and Dover where he replaced radio legend jock Mackenzie as the morning sports anchor. The Sherm left the banking industry in 1986 to focus on his radio and television career. besides his morning sports job, he also worked as a traffic reporter at metro-traffic, a part-time sports anchor at WBZ radio, play-by-play broadcaster for university of New Hampshire athletics on WGOT-TV60 and as a news anchor on cable Channel 12 based in Rochester.
In 1992 Charlie was hired as sports reporter and weekend anchor at WMUR-TV9 in Manchester and three years later he was named the stations sports director. He remained at WMUR-TV9 until March of 2004.
The Sherm has been involved in dozens of charitable causes over the year but none bigger than the Penguin Plunge, which has raised over 1-million dollars for Special Olympics of New Hampshire. He has also won numerous industry awards and was named the New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters Broadcaster of the Year in 2003.
Charlie resides in Amherst with his wife Michelle and sons Justin and Adam.
