About Me
Since May of 1985, Chuck has served Mark Charles Associates as the sole Principal, President and CEO of the firm with unparalleled integrity. On September 15, 2005, Central Penn Business Brokers, LLC, acquired MCA from Mr. Cenkner. Chuck remains committed to the business community in South Central Pennsylvania, in his new role as Senior Broker Associate. Chuck returns to his roots in the Business Brokerage industry by representing Sellers which he has done as an agency owner for over 20 years.
Chuck took early retirement from Ingersoll-Rand after 23 years to start on his entrepreneurial journey here in Central Pennsylvania. He left behind a very successful career in marketing, sales and corporate management to launch his own business endeavor in the world of mergers and acquisitions – but on the Main Street America level to be closer to the entrepreneurial small business owner and buyer. He established Mark Charles Associates, Inc. in 1985.
