Chuck was recently named as the new host of the popular Discovery Kids series Trading Spaces: Boys vs. Girls, where kids put up their decorating dukes and battle it out in an effort to transform each other's blasé bedrooms into spectacular spaces in just two days!

But Chuck is well-known to Discovery Kids viewers as co-host of the outrageous animal prank reality series Skunked TV. On Skunked he poses as a zookeeper, tourist or whatever other role it takes to spring hilarious hoaxes involving animals on unsuspecting kids and adults.

In addition to being a TV host, Chuck is an animal trainer, actor and karaoke champion.

Born into a military family, Chuck traveled the world as a child. He has lived in Greece, England and all over the United States. As a teen living in Europe, he hosted his own radio show, Chuck's Corner, on the Armed Forces Radio Network. After settling in San Antonio, Texas, he studied television journalism and acting. He also performed in high-school and college plays and speech events. To take a step closer toward fulfilling his lifelong goal of becoming an actor and television personality, Chuck took a job as a tour guide at a zoological theme park to improve his public speaking skills. He soon became fascinated with, and saw the benefits of, training animals to educate and entertain the public. After much soul searching, Chuck decided to make a career change. Thus, at the age of 21, he taught himself to swim and took a job as whale and dolphin trainer. During his 15 years working with animals, Chuck has trained and performed with not only whales and dolphins, but also sea lions, walruses, otters, birds and many terrestrial animals.

No stranger to television, Chuck has appeared in dozens of local and national television commercials, industrial films and radio spots. He also participates regularly in on-air fund-raising drives for San Antonio’s PBS station. During a stay in Hollywood, he appeared on The Drew Carey Show, JAG, Felicity and The Shield. Chuck also shared the silver screen with Kevin Spacey and Kate Winslett in the motion picture The Life of David Gale and will appear in the upcoming independent film The Sunsetters.

Currently a resident of San Antonio, Texas, where he continues to train animals, Chuck enjoys traveling and karaoke singing. He is the two-time winner of a city karaoke tournament of champions, winning $1,000 each competition!
