Chuck was a member of Firestone Road Baptist Church in his youth and came to know the Lord through those ministries. This led him to pursue a career in youth ministry and coaching.

He was talented, a man of many trades, and his passion was youth and making a difference in young adult’s lives leading them to know Jesus Christ as their Saviour. He retired in 2016 but continued to lead people to the Lord up until his passing.
