After leaving the US Army in 1989, Chuck started his career as an engineer designing mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems for commercial, institutional, and residential buildings of various sizes and complexity, which lead into starting his own company since 2006. In addition to his collection of critters at home (dogs, cats and turtles), he enjoys spending time outdoors, including weekend walks with his dogs along the C&O Canal. Seeing the diversity of flora and fauna, he has come to respect the need and requirement in keeping our natural world protected. As such, he is also a member/supporter of the Izaak Walton League. He supports Second Chance Wildlife Center (SCWC) as a worthy cause, and he sees his construction experience as an opportunity to make a positive impact in SCWC’s future.
