Practical technology.
Charles Ivy is CEO and Founder of EnvyInk, Inc., the company behind FortLyn. His background spans business operations, marketing, web design, and digital communications.
Alongside leading EnvyInk, Charles serves as Marketing & Operations Director at DRE, A.P.C., and works in social media and web design with Search185 Podcast. These roles bring him close to the everyday work of coordinating people, information, and technology.
At FortLyn, that business perspective guides a practical approach: understand how a team works, identify what slows it down, and connect systems around clear responsibilities. The focus is on tools people can use, processes they can follow, and a support path they understand.

He holds an Associate of Arts from Lone Star College and an Associate of Arts and Sciences in Graphic Design from the Art Institute of Houston.
