David Charpentier

David Charpentier and his wife Susan have lived in Mason, Ohio, for 19 years with their four children. Their two oldest, Jackson and Chase, graduated from Mason City Schools in 2021, and their two younger children, Eliana (2026) and Lincoln (2028), are still attending. They specifically chose Mason for its school system.

 

David, the oldest of five adopted children, grew up in Minnesota and attended public schools there. He earned a History degree from Bethel University, with a focus on Social Studies Secondary Education. After college, he joined the U.S. Army as a 2nd Lieutenant, serving 5.5 years on Active Duty. His roles included Platoon Leader, Executive Officer, and Company Commander, and he completed Pathfinder, Airborne, and Ranger Schools.

 

After his military service, David moved to the Greater Cincinnati Area. He spent eight years in business, leading operations and sales for a Fortune 500 company. He then became a full-time parent and engaged deeply with the community. He contributed to the Veterans Park in Deerfield Township and served on his HOA. He also became a certified yoga instructor, ice skating coach, Life Coach, and Enneagram teacher. This led to his current career as a Business Coach and Consultant, working with individuals and teams. Additionally, he contracts with the Mason Deerfield Community Development Corporation, working at the MADE HUB for Manufacturing.

 

David currently holds several board positions: Vice-Chair for Warren County Community Services, a board member for Blue Skies for the Good Guys and Gals (an organization supporting Purple Heart recipients and Gold Star Families), and a board member for Portraits in Faith (which promotes spiritual connection). He is actively involved in the local Veteran Community as a member of the American Legion Color Guard and previously served three years as Post Commander. Within Mason City Schools, he serves on the Inclusive Excellence and Safety Committees. He has also collaborated with the Experiential Learning Program, bringing a skilled trades workshop to the MADE Manufacturing HUB, mentoring student entrepreneurs, and speaking at school events.

His personal motto is "Rangers Lead the Way!"
