Meet Chuck
Chuck is a proud Minnesota native, born and raised in the charming river town of Stillwater. He is a graduate of the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mortuary Science, along with additional studies in Business Management and Political Science. With a deep-rooted sense of community and service, Chuck has spent his life balancing professional excellence with a strong commitment to family and volunteerism.
Chuck has been happily married to his wife for over 35 years, and together they’ve raised three wonderful children—Josh, Noah, and Maggie—who are now thriving adults. A lifelong sports enthusiast, Chuck enjoys everything from baseball and football to golf and basketball. When he's not cheering on his favorite teams, you'll often find him in the garden, where he finds peace and joy tending to nature. His passion for giving back is evident in his many years of volunteer work, reflecting his belief in leading with heart and purpose.
Chuck began his real estate career in 2003, following a decade-long profession as a licensed funeral director from 1992 to 2002. His transition into real estate was driven by a deep desire to continue serving families during pivotal moments in life—this time, helping them navigate one of their most significant financial and emotional investments: buying or selling a home. Since then, Chuck has successfully guided over thousands of families through the real estate process, earning a reputation for integrity, compassion, and results.
Over the years, Chuck’s dedication to professionalism and client-centered service has earned him numerous accolades. He is a multi-year recipient of the Better Business Bureau’s Torch Award for Ethics and has been honored 19 times as a “Super Real Estate Agent,” a distinction awarded to a select percentage of agents based on client satisfaction and peer recommendations. Chuck also holds several prestigious professional designations, including the Green Designation and Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI).
Among his industry achievements, Chuck has been awarded the RE/MAX Chairman’s Club Award seven times, the Platinum Club Award nine times, and was inducted into the RE/MAX Hall of Fame—a testament to his consistent top-tier performance and long-standing commitment to excellence in the field.
With decades of experience, a sharp competitive edge, and an unwavering dedication to his clients' success, Chuck approaches every transaction with one goal in mind: to deliver exceptional results. As a full-time Real Estate Agent serving buyers, sellers, investors, and builders across Minnesota, Chuck understands that real estate is not just about property—it’s about people, their goals, and building a foundation for the future.
Chuck sees his work as more than a career; it’s a calling. He takes pride in helping clients make smart, confident decisions that will impact their lives for years to come. Whether it’s securing a first home, selling a lifelong residence, or making a strategic investment, Chuck approaches each opportunity with a client-first mindset, a spirit of innovation, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
From start to finish, Chuck is focused on maximizing outcomes and creating smooth, successful experiences. For him, real estate is not just about closing deals—it’s about opening doors, building trust, and helping people succeed not just in real estate, but in life.
