About Chuck
Though you might not believe it, it is what it is. This is Charles Meier, known to most as Chuck. He has been around the world twice and seen everyone once, watched two white whales screw, and a monkey hump a football. His previous experiences are what most people would call “an extensive list of professions,” with most including the the Military / Public service / First Responder field of expertise.
He joined the Navy at eighteen to start his adventure called Life and has not stopped living since. Chuck’s professions are out of the realm of what normal people call reality. He excels at the sketchy, and is pretty comfortable living in the suck. He doesn’t sweat the petty things, but has been known to pet the sweaty things. In his life, thus far, he has fallen out of helicopters as a Rescue Swimmer, has been a Fireman working at NAS Crash Rescue, a Sheriff’s Deputy, worked on the SWAT / Dive teams for Monroe County, and served as a Security Contractor working in Iraq and state side during the natural disasters of Hurricane Katrina and Rita.
Chuck has lived in some places that most people wouldn’t dream of going to and due to natural selection and evolution probably wouldn’t make it out alive if they went. It is safe to say that he knows the actual meaning of a shithole Country.
In this world, he is what most people would call a modern age cave man – perhaps, last of the bare-knuckle fighters, a rootin’, tootin’, shootin’, lootin’, and boot scooting get r done kind of guy.
Can’t is not in his vocabulary. He is a TEXAN by birth and American by the grace of God. He was born in a bushel of knives and carries two forty-fives. He describes himself as a “Red White & Blue Through and Through Patriotic AMERICAN”. He believes in the three G’s (God, Gun, Guts) and a whole lot of the Second Amendment. Chuck says what he means and means what he says…and he expects you to do the same.
He is nonapologetic regarding his past because that has made him into the man he is today. “Life is short – play hard. None of us are making it out alive.” Just a few mantras Chuck lives by. He has yet to meet anyone in the world like him, which is most likely a good thing because the world couldn’t handle it.
In his own words…
“Some of my other exploits are as listed: author; casual hero – I have crossed rivers, opened doors, rescued hostages, pulled more people out of the grave than I’ve put in them, so that alone makes me a pretty good dude; Certified Boat Captain and have explored Oceans in more ways than one. I am a lover of live women and dogs. If it’s got tits, wheels, or a rudder, I can make it work. (2×2’s, 4×4’s, 6×6’s and those big Motherfucker that bend in the middle and go SHHHH, SHHHHH when you step on the brakes)
I have started a couple of revolutions for pennies on the dollar and won for slightly more. I have been a skydiver, scuba diver, treasure hunter, bouncer, announcer, emcee, DJ, Minister, and motivational speaker. I’ve been called a strip club Messiah, been drunk, been sober, broke a few hearts and have had my heart broken. I have emptied a saloon or two. I’ve actually been kicked in the face by Hank Williams Jr and survived the fall screaming “I love you Hank, Fuck you Hank” all in the same sentence.
I have been shot at and missed, shit at and hit, beat up, blown up, and stabbed. I have survived six IED’s – three of them in the same day, I got out of that situation with a slight limp and wrote a book about.
I’ve satisfied more than my share of women, organized an orgy, wrestled an iguana, snatched a snake, road a goat and preformed a few pirate weddings. Most recently I was one of the main characters on a reality TV show, The Curse of the Bermuda Triangle.
I have made my home in Key West, the island of misfits, for as long as it will have me.
I am the one-legged man in the ass whooping contest.”
