Bio

MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE

Charlie “Rocket” Jabaley was managing one of the biggest music management companies in the world when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Facing death and weighing over 300 pounds, he made the choice to return to his childhood dream of being an athlete. He ended up losing 125 lbs, running 5 marathons, completing an ironman, and best of all, reversing his brain tumor. Charlie has now dedicated his entire life to making other people’s dreams come true through his non-profit the Dream Machine Foundation.

Dream Machine

Using social media for social impact

Together with our community, we make inspiring, life-changing dreams come true for people who once were at where Charlie was: rock bottom, stuck, hopeless. Since our start in 2018, we have been able to get homeless people off the streets, to help children with disabilities launch their dream business, to help tornado victims rebuild their homes, and much more.
