Chuck moved to Pittsburgh in 1989 to help start Jones Day’s Pittsburgh Office.

He also was co-chair of the firmwide initiative regarding autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence and robotics.

Chuck is a graduate of Denison University (B.A. with highest honors, majoring in International Politics), Princeton University School of International and Public Affairs (M.P.A. in International Politics), and Columbia University School of Law (Law Review and Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar). Before joining Jones Day, Chuck was a judicial law clerk for Chief Judge Frank J. Battisti, United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, and Hon. Nathaniel R. Jones, United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
The effort to eradicate hate requires the active participation of every component of our society, to include governments, the private sector, communities of faith and indeed every aspect of civil society. There is no more urgent task in front of us. The organizers of the Eradicate Hate Global Summit are doing the United States and the world an enormous service by tackling hatred and extremism with a focus on honest dialogue and conversation, genuine learning and practical solutions. This will not happen overnight, but the Pittsburgh community’s leadership in this effort is genuinely inspiring and motivating.
