Chuck committed his life to Christ as a young adult, the culmination of a 10-year spiritual journey. He had studied the world’s major religions and philosophies, reading original source text and reflecting on the tough “God questions” that every spiritual seeker strives to answer.
Jesus’ profound message reached Chuck’s mind and touched his heart. As a new Christ follower, Chuck devoted himself to fully living out our faith, and soon learned just how hard and lonely this commitment can be at work. American society largely separates faith and work, yet God calls Christians to a spiritually integrated life.
Chuck moved quickly on the vocational front. He positioned his consultancy SKILLSOURCE®(www.skillsource.com) to bring Biblical principles to client companies of all spiritual orientations, and offer them a pathway to sustainable growth in sales, profits and people. The firm has developed a national client base, flourishing as a creative aspect of Chuck’s ministry.
Chuck also recognized the need for a comprehensive marketplace ministry that could help restore full Christian commitment and contribution to the work world. He started by spending a couple of years studying how Christians live out faith at work, and how scripture speaks to our experiences.
Chuck uncovered a consistent set of spiritual struggles faced by working Christians, and a compelling set of spiritual solutions straight from God’s word. Collectively, these insights formed the framework for At Work on Purpose®, a ministry Chuck founded in 2003 that has grown rapidly to have a global reach.
Alongside SKILLSOURCE® and At Work on Purpose®, Chuck also serves as an Executive Board Member for Self Sustaining Enterprises. This innovative organization creates self-sustaining initiatives, including entrepreneurial ventures, that generate a sustainable flow of funds for ministry around the world.
Prior to undertaking leadership with SKILLSOURCE®, At Work on Purpose® and Self Sustaining Enterprises, Chuck developed general management skills at three industry-leading firms: The Procter & Gamble Company, The Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery, and LensCrafters Corporation. As a student at Harvard University, Chuck pioneered the school’s organizational development curriculum.
Chuck has been quoted, interviewed, profiled and published in notable media such as Success magazine, Inspire magazine, the Business Courier, The Cincinnati Enquirer, The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, Revelations, Christian Television Network, World Harvest TV, Family Net Television, Total Christian Television, The Inspiration Network, God TV and Success Radio.
