In 1950 Charlie Horner was born in Columbus, Ohio. He began Ventriloquism at the age of 12 in 1963. He had several of the great ventriloquists as his role models, such as Paul Winchell, and Jimmy Nelson. He enjoyed performing his new skills in various school shows, and wherever he could find an audience. Finally after much hard work at age 14 he won his first talent show at a country music park. This was the very country music park where Loretta Lynn, and many others had performed, he even later appeared with various country singers. Once he was even asked to travel, but being such a young age his parents insisted that he decline the offer, however, he was determined to better his skills in ventriloquism throughout his young life.

As time went on he found it very difficult to find a figure maker to build his own custom made figure. It wasn't until his conversion that the Lord provided his first custom made figure, Chester T. Leroy, in 1978. He then realized that God had a plan for his life through ventriloquism, this was the beginning of his Gospel Ventriloquist's Ministry. Through this ministry of Gospel Ventriloquism, he has seen many souls won for the Lord. The Lord has opened door after door in television, college teaching on ventriloquism, and even working with various Southern Gospel Singing Groups on concert stages. Charlie has helped organize Southern Gospel conventions as well as fill numerous MC parts while performing his ventriloquism.

Charlie saw a need in his life to start making figures. He then started a figure making ministry in the early 1980's, and has begun repairing and making various figures. Since then he has built, repaired, and restyled many types of figures, puppets, stage props, and more.

In December of 2000 he had an opportunity to buy out an old figure maker, which broadened his directions. Now he has ventriloquism on stage, and in the shop in his future.

Together he has the bases loaded to win souls for Christ!
