Chuck's interest in archaeology evolved out of his love of history. It wasn't until his senior year as an undergraduate history major that he took his first anthropology class. At this point he realized that he had perhaps missed the target regarding his educational goals and objectives. Despite this, he taught junior and senior high school history for four years in a small ranching community in southeastern Colorado. At this point he not only got married but with the support of his wife, Garland, returned to his alma matter, took all of the anthropology classes offered in a 12 month period, and went off to graduate school at the University of Arkansas. The Arkansas experience lead to an internship with the National Park Service in Denver and later, a job with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.
Garland's desire for a Ph.D. in psychology led the couple to Lexington in the early 1980s. After a brief stint working as an archaeologist for a firm called Environment Consultants, Inc., Chuck and Garland started Cultural Resource Analysts, Inc. What began essentially as one man working out of his basement, the company now has five offices and approximately 100 full-time employees.
