He has spent time teaching for Purdue University, IUIPUI, and Indian Wesleyan University. Chuck\\u2019s passion and dedication to furthering comprehensive wellness are impossible to miss.

In today\\u2019s interview, Chuck briefly discusses his background and where he thinks wellness is headed. He shares his ideas on technology\\u2019s role in wellness initiatives, and how he hopes it can be used to lessen administration time and increase person to person time.\\xa0

Chuck explains NWI\\u2019s new mission statement and the Institute\\u2019s dedication to creating and fostering more collaboration and partnerships.
