Charlee Brotherton - Oklahoma

Charlee Brotherton is a CPA, a Matchmaker of Brotherton & Associates Introductions, Inc., owner and CEO of the Singles Station. She has been in the matchmaking business for over seven years. She acquired The Singles Station Dating Co. in January 2000 and has expanded the service to include six offices in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Bentonville, Fort Smith, Little Rock and Nashville.

She personally matches clients as well as manages the introductions for thousands of singles through The Singles Station Dating Co. When she was first introduced to the matchmaking/dating service concept she loved the idea. Being a Certified Public Accountant, she has a quantitative, logical thought process. For her it made perfect sense to take an organized approach to meet the person you would spend the rest of your life with. Most singles employ a haphazard approach to meeting singles. Singles spend more time thinking about the features they want on a new car, than the attributes that they are looking for in a life long mate. Picking the right mate is the most important decision you will ever make.
