Charles Eisendrath
Charles R. Eisendrath, a Yale graduate, left law school to follow his passion for journalism. He later founded the Wallace House Center for Journalists at the University of Michigan, establishing the renowned Knight-Wallace Fellowships and the Livingston Awards, often called the “Pulitzer Prize for the young.” Eisendrath secured a $60 million endowment to sustain these initiatives.
In addition, he founded Grillworks, Inc., where his patented grill helped revive America’s love for woodfired cooking. He and his wife, Julia, divide their time between Ann Arbor and East Jordan, Michigan.
