And, so this is my chance to tell you a
little about me. The industry I work in is
service oriented, and I think it's
important that my clients and potential
clients know the person...it is a part of
the trust building process.

I'll spare all the life history bullet
points. You don't care what university my
degree is from or how many titles or  
acronyms I can put behind my name anyway.

I'm your pretty "normal" guy, I guess. I
enjoy good music, I admire talent pursued
in others, be it fine art, performing
arts, culinary arts, athleticism or the
talent of selfless giving.

I am proud of my southern heritage,
although I've spent the past 3 years
living the southern California lifestyle,
trying to expand my inner self on many
different levels. I've learned to surf,
and I've learned where every great dirt
cheap taco stand is from Imperial Beach to
San Juan Capistrano, mostly in flip flops
and board shorts on my beach cruiser.   

I like to be a "doer".  Dreams, ideas and
talk are all great for starters, but the
main course is in the doing of these
dreams.

I've dabbled in the sport of triathlon
some through the years. I consider it to
be a hobby, and although it's something
I'm passionate about, it's certainly not
my profession...I would otherwise starve
to death. I've completed the Ironman
Triathlon 14 times over the past near
quarter century. The Ironman is kind of
like wrestling a gorilla. You don't
necessarily stop when you've had enough,
you stop when the gorilla's had enough.

Through it all, I've come to a couple of
conclusions. I think people, all people
have the inherent need to feel a sense of
accomplishment. I think that's the driving
component in being a doer, and
accomplishment is the fuel. That said,
there is no real finish line, because the
need always exists. The satisfaction comes
when I see signs of others being
influenced and discover their own inner
fuel. The greatest dividend to me, is when
someone comes up to me and says, "hey
Chuck, I'm doing it!"

Thanks so much for taking the time ~
