Chuck Aker brings with him 15 years of experience in many aspects of construction. His experiences range from churches, schools, utility work, office renovations, medical facilities, federal work, maintenance programs, and many more commercial and industrial projects.
Starting out in the Marine Corps, Chuck was attached to the 2nd SRIG Engineering Battalion where he acquired the skills to manage and maintain construction projects. His passion for the field allowed him to be promoted three times while in service. While maintaining the work ethic developed on the family farm, he was rewarded by taking those skills to many other countries throughout the globe including Japan, Norway, Belize, and Germany.
After the Marine Corps, Chuck wanted to better develop his skills in construction and pursue it as a full-time career. While maintaining a full-time status as a student and employee, he acquired a degree in Architectural Engineering Technology from ITT Technical Institute and Construction Technology from Purdue University (via IUPUI).
Chuck's accumulative education and strong passion for construction is proven by the many success stories of commercial projects he has built all over the state of Indiana. His maintenance background gives him the foresight to develop projects that will be cost-effective and maintainable for the lifecycle of the project.
In an effort to improve and share his passion of construction, Chuck has participated in many construction-related activities such as Habitat for Humanity, The American Society of Professional Estimators (ASPE), and continuously volunteers for construction improvements ministries with Grace Missionary Church in Camby, Indiana.
