For Charlie Touché, there was never a question of carrying on the family tradition. Though he worked for other agencies, he knew his future was with Lovitt & Touché, where he serves as Chairman Emeritus.

A forward-thinking visionary who knows how to read the market’s trends, Charlie faced his greatest challenge in bringing the agency to Phoenix, which he also considers his greatest accomplishment. The agency’s strong local management, he says, separates it from the competition. He also considers the agency’s efforts to gain respect among potential clients and associate with quality people as additional keys to success.

With more than 40 years of experience, Charlie built a strong industry background with Aetna Cravens of Los Angeles and Bowering in London. However, he stayed connected to his family’s Tucson roots, earning a finance degree from the University of Arizona. He is also a Chartered Property & Casualty Underwriter.

Charlie stays at the leading edge of the industry by continuing his education and frequently attending seminars. He is involved in the community as well, serving as a member of the Tucson Conquistadores, an organization that supports community sports, and the World Presidents Organization. He is a former member of the Young Presidents Organization.

Charlie enjoys a good round of golf in his spare time.
