Charlie Wilshire - Craftsman, Educator, and Community Leader

Charlie Wilshire has spent more than three decades strengthening his community through creativity, education, and service. From transforming homes across Oregon to mentoring students, Charlie Wilshire’s career has been defined by learning, leadership, and craftsmanship.

He is the owner of The Merry Craftsmen, a business that has specialized in home remodeling projects for over 32 years. Before and alongside his work in construction, Charlie Wilshire built a career in education, teaching language arts and social studies at both traditional and alternative schools.
