I really enjoy the time work with Chuck.
Tom Elward
In working with Chuck for over a decade, it is impossible for me to remember a time when he said this can't be done. A perfect example is his ability to complete a global infrastructure for McDonald's, including digital connectivity for our entire enterprise globally. Special projects, assignments and emergency responses were met with high energy, enthusiasm, and exceptional professionalism.
