Charles Horikami is a dedicated attorney, educator, and lifelong Idahoan with a deep passion for public service and the law. Born in Arizona but raised in Caldwell, Idaho, Charles traces his roots back through four prior generations of Idahoans. His career began in education, where he spent six years teaching U.S. History and Computer Science in rural Idaho while actively participating in local government and political discourse.
After a life-altering medical event, Charles pivoted toward a long-
standing ambition—law. He earned his J.D. from Regent University School of Law, where he clerked for judges in state, federal, and international courts, competed in space law moot court competitions, and interned with a satellite servicing company. Now a practicing attorney in Idaho, Charles specializes in litigation and administrative law.
Outside of his legal work, Charles and his wife, Heather, are the proud parents of five children. An avid hiker, traveler, and foodie with a curious mind, he continues to pursue his passion for space law through ongoing graduate studies, participation in several space policy initiatives, and part-time work with Aegis Space Law. Whether he’s advocating in court, mentoring students, or writing about lasers in space, Charles brings ethical conviction, humor, and Idaho grit to everything he does.
