Charles Ansley is an IT professional who turned a life-changing vision loss into a story of resilience and ambition. After losing his sight in 2019 due to complications from high blood pressure and glaucoma, Charles refused to let his disability define his future.

He now inspires others who are blind, proving that with determination and hard work, there are no limits to what can be achieved.

In this episode…

Losing vision unexpectedly can feel like life as you know it has come to a sudden stop, but for Charles Ansley, it became the catalyst for a powerful new beginning. After experiencing sudden sight loss in 2019 due to high blood pressure and glaucoma, Charles faced the challenge of raising his teenage son while also reimagining his career and personal goals.

In this episode, Charles shares how he rediscovered his passion for IT, enrolled in NSITE’s Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) program, and mastered tools like JAWS and NVDA to pursue a career in network engineering and cybersecurity. He explains how the program’s instructor-led, accessible training created a sense of community and provided him with the confidence and technical skills to succeed.

Drawing from his own journey, Charles reflects on the mindset shift that helped him see beyond limitations and become a role model for other people who are blind, low vision, or visually impaired. His story proves that, with perseverance, adaptive technology, and the right support system, barriers can turn into possibilities and independence can be redefined.
