Chuck Bowen grew up in Claxton, Georgia (the “Fruit Cake Capital of the World” where Chuck fit in perfectly), learned his ethics from his role-model, entrepreneur father and graduated from Georgia Tech (where he learned just how smart fruitcakes have to be to escape engineering school). For almost twenty-five years (can it be, since he’s such a baby-face?), Chuck has been guiding people and organizations, including leadership roles with Procter & Gamble (you know, the Tide people), Covad Communications, Key Risk Management and others. His work experiences include stints in the manufacturing (you know, conveyor belts and stuff), technology (yep, he’s a gadget guy), and insurance sectors (yep, he does run with scissors) at all levels of leadership. Chuck's life experiences range from entry level (bottom of the totem pole) employee to CEO (it’s not all it’s cracked up to be), husband (he WAY out-punted his coverage), dad (THE best job in the world), motivator and mentor. Chuck comes alongside budding entrepreneurs (they just need a little fertilizer and water), coaches and existing small business owners (so they won’t feel all alone at the top) to help them live out their dreams to own and operate profitable, authentic, and self-sustaining businesses. His niche is getting results where others don't -- or can't (check out his raving fans here). Chuck Bowen is founder and president of Chuck Bowen Coaching, LLC. After over 17 years of corporate experience (he finally escaped!; can you say 7 high-tech companies in the final 6 years?), Chuck decided to follow his passion to mentor others and focus full-time on providing financial (he became what Dave Ramsey himself calls “one of his top certified financial coaches”), life, career, and entrepreneur coaching to individuals, families, ministries and small businesses. Throughout his personal and professional life, he has experienced first-hand and overcome many of the challenges (financial crisis, career unknowns, starting businesses in down economies, etc.) he now helps others navigate on a daily basis. Thinking back on their financial nightmare of ‘92, Chuck and Lori never dreamed that by following their simple principle of “Living on Less Than You Make” that on Aug 1, 2005 they would make their final mortgage payment … and become totally debt free (can you say “happy campers?)! Chuck’s passion is to now help others realize that same dream personally and with their businesses. Since 2004 through his weekly live call-in radio show "The Chuck Bowen Show" (it’s hard to get him to admit he’s a “radio personality”), personal coaching, workshops and live events, Chuck is helping thousands of people, entrepreneurs and churches significantly pay off tens of thousands in debt, jumpstart their careers, grow their businesses ... and dramatically change their lives permanently for the better. Chuck is a Dave Ramsey certified financial coach (for years, Dave flew him to Nashville to personally coach hundreds of his certified counselors), and Head Business Coach of the www.FreeAgentAcademy.com, compassionately helping his clients create and achieve their vision to thrive. He is an ordained deacon, teacher, and volunteer and serves on numerous advisory boards / committees. An avid cyclist, you can regularly find (and join!) him on backroads across much of the U.S. enjoying life at 20 mph. Chuck enjoys an abundant life with his wife, Lori (who’s actually smarter than Chuck, as she was voted Star Student and Most Likely to Succeed and has a major in Math and minor in Economics), and daughter, Haley (Haleybug or simply “The Bug” is an aspiring triathlete, or so her dad dreams …), in San Antonio, Texas (where they live 1,200 miles away from Claxton in a place that it never rains and if you go outside you’ll likely burst into flames). Contact us today about coming alongside San Antonio's favorite personal, career, life, business or practice coaches. Mission Statement: "Pleasing God by helping others improve their lives by not settling for simply dreaming BIG, but DOING big!"
