Upon graduating from Clemson University with a degree in Chemical Engineering (1972) and spending 4 years with the Beaufort Chemical Company, Chuck began a long, diversified, and lucrative career in the real estate industry. His experience in real estate is simply unparalleled, ranging from the planning and designing of communities to land acquisitions, infrastructure development management, project sales and marketing management, and the most senior levels of operations management. Chuck has successfully managed developments both in exceptional economic conditions for investors and in difficult conditions for lenders across the eastern and southern United States.

​

Chuck has extensive experience in resort, mixed-use and primary residential communities.  He has been engaged at the senior management level and as a principal in the cradle to grave development process of small and mega mixed-use residential communities. He has worked with such companies as Fripp Island Development Corporation, the Bos Corporation, U. S. Capital Corporation, The Paradigm Corporation, Tidewater Plantation and Golf Club, and Lake Carolina Development, Inc., where he served as president of the development company for nearly 10 years.  

​

In 2008, with infrastructure development nearing its completion in the award-winning, 1,850-acre Lake Carolina planned development community, Chuck and an associate acquired Southern Community Services, an association management company with operations from Columbia to coastal South Carolina.  With the company running smoothly under the direction of his co-principal, Chuck joined the LandTech team, where he currently serves as President of the company’s Asset Evaluation and Management Team.  Prior to officially joining the LandTech team, Chuck had a professional relationship with the company’s principals for over 20 years, during which time they planned, developed, managed, and sold numerous communities and high-rise developments in SC, NC, AL, FL, and NJ.  In recent years, HIC and LandTech forged a strong relationship that eventually led to LandTech becoming HIC’s development partner, with Chuck serving as Director of Development.
