Chuck began his career as Office Manager for UXB International, Inc. who was the first private company to win a government contract for unexploded ordnance disposal.  In 1985, UXB won a clearance contract from the U.S. Army to perform work in Hawthorne, Nevada for $3.2m where Chuck helped to supervise over 100 employees during the yearlong project.

From there, Chuck was hired by PGH International, Inc. as Director of Administration.  PGH was a leading defense-consulting firm during the late 1980’s and 1990’s that helped clients generate sales of over $500m.  The client list at PGH included such European powerhouses as Vickers Defense Systems Ltd, FBM Marine, Mabey & Johnson Bridging, WIBE and UTA Airlines.
