He later managed the largest nuclear power plant monitoring system under development at that time in the US. Chuck joined ICI in 1986; managed R&D IS, developed a computer validation system still in use today, and retired from AstraZeneca in 2004.

In 2007 Chuck began working with Literacy Volunteers Serving Adults, tutoring people in English as a second language and helping them acclimate to an unfamiliar country and culture.
