He was employed as an operations manager for Lydia Home Association, a residential foster care facility. He was previously employed as a journeyman welder at WE Energies.
Chuck was a member of Journey Church. He was very involved in the church as a Life Group Leader, and he also went on multiple mission trips to other countries to help build churches and schools. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, playing pool, spending time with his family and puppy. He loved food, anything involving the military, and the Chicago Bears. He was a collector of many things including guns, Bears memorabilia, and vintage coin banks.
