Chuck is the Founder and CEO of Strategic Advisory Forum. He is driven by a deep sense of honesty, integrity, and a love for teaching others. He strongly believes the experience of building and selling a business should be highly relational not just transactional. Chuck has built and sold 3 of his own companies, from scratch. He understands the challenges and complexity of building companies and preparing them to go to market.

Testimonials
Chuck is a highly skilled presenter, compassionate leader, experienced entrepreneur, and exceptional networker. He is thoughtful, thorough, and always well-prepared for his presentations. He delivers with insightful precision, focused purpose, and with deliberate intent to make personal connections – regardless of subject matter. In the 8 or so years that I have known Chuck, first as a customer and then as a colleague, I have found him to be a family man that cares deeply about his family and friends. He is a visionary of very high character and integrity, and I have never experienced a more genuine leader in any other organization — one that cares deeply about the individuals (and their families) that make up his team. I highly recommend Chuck as a speaker, leader, coach, and friend.

“Hi, I am Tommy Smith. I’m the CEO and founder of Novus Architects. We’re about a 75 person architectural firm based in Charleston, South Carolina, with several offices around the Southeast and one in the Caribbean. I knew Chuck dealt mergers and acquisitions, and this is something I’ve been thinking about investigating, talking to lots of people for many, many years, probably at least five years plus with some level of thought. I already, by that time, talked to a lot of different experts in the field, gotten lots of different points of view, but was ready to start the process. I turned to Chuck and I said, I need you and I’d really love it if you would come in and just help me as it’s needed to be helped. He brought in an associate at sort of our kickoff meeting, and boy did he and his associate lead give us just a ton of credibility to the process that I was going through. And so having them there able to speak on my behalf, but also on our behalf, was just a very helpful thing. I got a lot of really good advice from Chuck. So thank you, Chuck. I appreciate all your help. I really appreciate it. And I wanted to also say the key thing from day one with me was trust. I trust Chuck implicitly, and that’s the foundation of everything. And so having that trusted partner there as I kick this thing off and to help me, guide me through it was a huge help. So thank you “
