Chuck grew up in small town Hershey Pennsylvania and attended Clarion University. He’s chosen to raise his family in Frederick County, Maryland. Chuck is in tune with today’s market and is adapting constantly (thank you Chuck). The information that can be obtained through various resources can be overwhelming and confusing with lending.

Chuck helps provide clarity so clients make a sound financial decision for their particular situation. Knowing that his clients have entrusted him to help handle possibly “the single biggest transaction of their lives” is not taken for granted, ever.
