Charles Carmine Cavalconte was born in New York City on July 16, 1917, the son of Rocco Cavalconte and Carmela Potenza Cavalconte. His professional life combined engineering, higher education, technical consulting, and civic service in New York State.
Cavalconte earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering from Manhattan College in 1939 and a Bachelor of Philosophy from The Catholic University of America in 1945. He later completed a Master of Public Health at Fordham University in 1956, a Master of Science in Applied Science at Adelphi University in 1961, and a Doctor of Philosophy at St. John's University in 1971. This sequence of degrees reflected the breadth of his interests across electrical engineering, public health, applied science, and advanced academic study.

From 1955 to 1965 he worked as a research and development engineer with Republican Aviation Corporation in Farmingdale, New York. Beginning in 1965, he taught management at C.W. Post College, later associated with Long Island University, in Greenvale, New York, and held emeritus status after his academic service, which continued through 1987. Alongside his academic work, he served as a technical consultant to Bowne & Son Consultant Engineer in Mineola from 1965 to 1978. He was a registered professional engineer in New York. His civic work included service as a commissioner of the Mineola Village Planning Commission from 1976 to 1980 and the Mineola Village Zoning Commission beginning in 1982.
