PDG Chuck is a relatively new to Rotary. He joined the Rotary Club of Oviedo in 1994, became its president in 2003-2004 and the following year was elected governor nominee for the 2006-2007 Rotary year.

This was a multi-club project to fund vital equipment for the Bustamante Children's Hospital in Kingston, Jamaica. The total donation was $43,529. The project served as the catalyst for the Rotary Club of Oviedo and the Rotary Club of St Andrew (Kingston) to become twin clubs.

When not doing Rotary work, Chuck runs Chess, Inc. a construction company. He and his wife Marva who supports his Rotary endeavors have been married for thirty three years have two daughters - Elizabeth and Sara.
