While running the San Francisco office, it became the most awarded agency in the world.

Chuck has had the pleasure of working on both Men and Women’s sectors of the Levi Strauss brand at three different agencies. Chuck has been nominated five times for an Emmy, awarded one. He fared way better at the Cannes International Advertising Festival, D&AD, One Show, Clios, Communication Arts, NY Art Directors Club, Andy’s, and Effies.
