### DISTRICT GOVERNOR 2026-27
**!** grew up in Greenfield, a small city in South Central Ohio. The oldest of 3 children, Chuck recalls life in Greenville being quite simple in the 50s and 60s, enjoying family times on Rocky Fork Lake, in Highland County, Ohio, and family camping trips across the United States. He graduated from Edward Lee McClain High School in 1971 and left for Annapolis, Maryland, and the United States Naval Academy just three weeks after graduation. For the next sixteen months, he attended daily drills, cruised across the Atlantic Ocean, and trained to be a Naval Officer. In the early fall of 1972, Chuck left the Naval Academy to pursue a career as a Pastor.
He attended Cumberland College in Williamsburg, Kentucky, where he graduated with a BA in History with a minor in Mathematics in 1976. During his Senior year, he served as Vice President of the Student Government Association. Besides the course work and Student Government activities, he also served as Pastor and Youth Pastor in churches near school. In the late summer of 1977, Chuck began his Theological studies at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. While there, he also served as a part-time Pastor in Southern Ohio. Chuck graduated with a Master of Divinity in May 1980. After college, he served in various churches in North, Central, and Southern Ohio from 1980 to 2021 as a United Methodist Pastor.
Chuck met Karen Loveless during college orientation in 1973. Their romance moved quickly, and they were married March 9, 1974. After completing his degree, Chuck worked in the Admissions Office while Karen finished her degree in Music Education, graduating in 1977. As the father of three, grandfather of nine, and great-grandfather of one, Chuck appreciates and enjoys family. He and Karen have three children; Sarah Dawley of Edmond, Oklahoma, Joel Shonkwiler, of Westfield, Indiana, and Hannah Scruggs of Fairborn, Ohio. Sarah has four children, Joel has three, and Hannah has two. Sarah’s oldest, Annabelle, is the mother of Chuck and Karen’s great-granddaughter.
Chuck has been involved in Rotary since October 1997, beginning with the Rotary Club of Fairborn. After moving to Hillsboro, Ohio in July 2003, he became a part of the Rotary Club of Hillsboro. The next move in 2010 brought a change to the Rotary Club of Blanchester. Unfortunately, the Blanchester Club could not continue, so having bought a retirement home in Fairborn, Chuck returned to the Fairborn Club in the summer of 2018. Since becoming a part of Rotary, Chuck has grown to appreciate many of the benefits provided by participating in Rotary Clubs and District Rotary activities. Serving as President of Blanchester, a small club, allowed for learning more about the activities and benefits of participating in Rotary International activities. After returning to Fairborn, being allowed to be President of a thriving Rotary Club added even more commitment to serving Rotary in every way possible.
Becoming a District Assistant Governor in 2023, Chuck enjoys being able to provide resources to his four assigned Clubs and to continue his learning about the benefits of serving as a Rotarian. He looks forward to learning even more ways to serve Rotary
