Twenty-two plus years of experience in the protective security industry and over 25 years as a military officer has uniquely qualified Chuck to take on a typical day’s work of planning, strategic development, tactical deployment, and management of globally sized security and risk management teams. Having previously been the Director of Operations for a protective security company with Fortune 500 clients, Chuck has the experience and insight needed to provide top-level protective, risk, and intelligence leadership, and the business acumen for corporate budgets and fiscal matters. He is responsible for the Executive Protection Unit, Event Risk Management Team, and an Intelligence Group for a large multinational corporation – globally placed teams that produce critical data on which the enterprise relies for making decisions.

Since joining the corporate world in 2000, Chuck has taken on ever-increasing responsibilities and expanded the scope of the services and assets his teams provide to the enterprise. Under his leadership, he has transformed his groups’ function beyond their traditional roles, to that of a strategic enabler.

Along with a corporate career, Chuck is a military officer with over 25 years of service. Like many others in today’s reserve, he has served in numerous overseas contingencies. As well as operations in the Pacific Theater, Chuck has served as an embedded troop trainer and combat advisor for the Afghan National Army in the lead up to that country’s first election. Operating in austere and asymmetric environments, Chuck served with distinction and has received multiple decorations, once with valor. A Lieutenant Colonel, Chuck is currently the Executive Officer (Group XO) for a Theater Information Operations Group (TIOG).

Chuck holds a Bachelor of Science in Political Science with minor degrees in Public Relations and Military Science from Ball State University in Indiana. He is a founding member of the Corporate Protection Leadership Council (CPLC), and is both a published and a noted speaker on Executive Protection, Risk, and Intelligence Management. He is an avid reader, martial artist, functional fitness wannabe, and runner.
