Chuck’s experience:
Chuck spent 4 years in the navy, including 2 onboard the USS America (CV-66). He received extensive electronics training and worked on radar systems. After he completed his service, he worked for Norden Systems in Melville New York, on radar systems.
When AT&T was broken up in 1984, he jumped at the chance to work for New York Telephone, now NYNEX, where he became a PBX technician and serviced the largest sites in New York City such as the NYPD and the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office. In 1988 he left New York and moved to Virginia Beach and resumed working with Bell Atlantic, and he became certified in the Nortel Networks product lines, from the Norstar through the Option 81C, their largest PBX.
