He then joined the Tucson Police in 1967 where he met his future wife. As a detective, he was assigned to different units and special details.

Chuck spent nine years working in this unit that has grown into a division today. He retired after 20 years of service. Chuck then attended Pima Community College, receiving his Associates Degree with Honors in Construction Drafting. He started a successful business, drafting new homes and remodels for people in Arizona. In 2003, Chuck and his wife, Kathy moved to his beloved Show Low where as a family with their two much-loved children had fished and camped for many years.
