Chuck’s career began on the rural roads of Iowa, where early experiences with his veterinarian father instilled a deep respect for community, leadership, and curiosity. After earning a doctorate at Iowa State University and completing a neuroscience fellowship at the University of Michigan, he made a bold pivot in 1994—leaving academia to join a pioneering team focused on 3D animation and scientific visualization.
What started as a temporary project blossomed into three decades of pioneering work at the crossroads of science, technology, and storytelling. Over the years, Chuck has guided multidisciplinary teams in creating visualization tools that bring clarity to complex scientific ideas and shed light on unseen events—assets that prove invaluable in mediations, arbitrations, and trials.
Today, as Senior Director of Client Development at ESi, Chuck helps clients fully leverage the firm’s investigative and visualization capabilities, connecting clients with teams that combine the scientific method with a creative, collaborative approach to problem-solving, ensuring cases benefit from enhanced understanding, clarity, and impact.
