Charlie began skating at age five. He originally competed as both a single skater and an ice dancer. As a single skater, he won the bronze medal at the 2004 U.S. Championships on the Novice level, and competed internationally on the junior level. He quit skating singles following the 2005–06 season in order to focus on ice dancing.

He began ice dancing when he was seven at his coach's advice, who hoped it would smooth out Charlie’s skating. He was partnered with Meryl Davis in 1997. They are currently the longest-lasting dance team in the United States. They are the first American ice dancers to win the World title, as well as the first Americans to win the Olympic title. At the 2006 NHK Trophy, they became the first ice dancing team to receive level fours on all their elements

During his Roeper years, Charlie was known as a nice guy: a scholar; a balanced, focused individual; a strong community member; a Student Government representative; and a strings player, hockey player and choir member.

Charlie graduated from the University of Michigan in 2014.

Since winning the gold at the 2014 Sochi Games, Charlie has provided on–air commentary for the 2018 Olympic games in PyeongChang for NBC Sports and appeared on “Dancing with the Stars,” competing against his longtime skating partner Meryl Davis. The two have recently returned to the cast of “Stars on Ice,” a touring figure skating exhibition that they'd previously performed with in 2010.

In 2015, Charlie married Tanith Belbin White, who was the 2006 Olympic silver medalist in ice dancing. They have one child.
