Chuck loved learning about history and making trips across the country to explore.  He had many different hobbies and interests including flying planes, scuba diving, cross-country skiing (finishing the American Birkerbeiner three years in a row), and downhill skiing throughout the western US. He loved paddling a canoe on many of the rivers in Wisconsin and the boundary water area with friends and family.  He was an avid fan of shooting trap on many teams and enjoyed shooting sporting clays with his many friends. He loved hunting deer and grouse in Wisconsin and ventured out West to hunt elk, caribou, pheasant and more.
