When people ask Chuck what he does, he often doesn’t know how to answer. He realizes most people want to know what he does for a living, but that is rarely his top priority.

Chuck says he’s always been self-employed as a designer/builder, but his contracting business merely provides him with the means to do many things.

Chuck has written for over ten national magazines specializing in travel, building, and scuba diving.

His art has been shown in numerous shows. His unique style features paintings based on “social commentary." Following are two examples of Chuck's art. One is titled "Fast Food at Night" and the other is titled "The Birth of Baby Santa."

  

Chuck’s travels have taken him to over 60 countries. Many of those trips were on assignment as a travel and scuba-diving journalist.

In 2001, he wrote the book An American Underwater Odyssey - 50 Dives in 50 States and it chronicles his journey to discover America both above and below the surface in each state. This personal quest took over a year to complete.



You can find out more about Chuck, his "social commentary art, and his book 50 Dives in 50 States, on his websites:

Chuck is also the president of our fun and inspiring Toastmasters club, Southern Marin Toastmasters 1441, in Mill Valley, California.

Joining Toastmasters International, almost 11 years ago, was one of the best choices I've ever made in my life. Chuck feels glad he joined Toastmasters as well. During this show we've chosen to focus on why we joined Toastmasters, what it's like, why we recommend it, and how it can help you live your music.

Join us for a conversation about creativity, art, music, the art of communication, and how Toastmasters can help YOU live your music and enjoy your life.





One of my main intentions with my show is to give you lots of ideas for ways you can live your music and enjoy your life. While you are listening to my conversation with Chuck, I hope you'll feel inspired to try some new things – just for the fun of it. One of the questions I love to ask myself, and my coaching clients, is: "What do you have to GAIN by trying?" What would you let yourself do if you knew you'd feel good just by giving it a try?
