Biography

Charles Pol grew up in central Michigan surrounded by animals and his father's beloved veterinary work. Instead of a future following in his dad's footsteps, however, Charles dreamed of working in television from an early age.

After finishing film school at the University of Miami, he moved to Los Angeles. From Sydney Pollack's Mirage Enterprises to Creative Director for Booya Studios, to Director of Operations for Nickelodeon's live action division, to co-creating and producing a two-episode pilot, Charles realized that the "real character" is the one he grew up with, his father, Dr. Jan Pol.

Little did Charles know that his return to Michigan as co-creator and executive producer of "The Incredible Dr. Pol" would last more than a dozen years and 24 seasons. He also didn't realize that living through a pandemic and spending all this time with his father visiting farms across central Michigan would lead to his biggest adventure yet: starting his own family farm.

With his wife, Beth, and their two children at his side, Charles has pulled on his muck boots, fixed the fencing and fired up the old tractor along with his intrepid brother-in-law, to find true farm life. And ever the creative, Charles as creator and executive producer, shares the ups and downs of their journey with the world in "The Incredible Pol Farm."
