CHUCK PATTERSON
![]() ![]() I got my first job at 11 years old, as a newspaper carrier for the Columbus Dispatch on route #3227. Over the following three years I added two additional routes and when I turned 16, my district manager told me I was "too old" to be a paperboy, so he got me a job in the circulation office. Eventually I became a delivery truck driver and then a district manager. I am currently working as a central Ohio Realtor with the Saxton Real Estate Brokerage. In addition to my real estate career, I run a small voice over business , I work part-time for a national media company and I am actively involved in community service efforts as an elected member and chairman of the Greater Hilltop Area Commission where I have also served as chair and/or a member on several committees. My final term with the GHAC ends in June 2011. I am a school board member for two central Ohio Imagine Schools charter schools; Imagine Academy at Sullivant and Imagine Harrisburg Pike Community School. I served as 2006 president of the West/Southwest Area Realty Association, I am past president and trustee of Southfield Village Homeowners Association and past president of the now defunct Greater Hilltop Resource Center. I am an award winning columnist for the Columbus Messenger newspaper group and I have been recognized for my community service efforts on several occasions by the Ohio House of Representatives and Columbus City Council. I am a lifelong resident of central Ohio, a Columbus West High School Cowboy and a graduate of the American School of Broadcasting and the Hondros College real estate program. Married to Linda since 1991, I am a father and ATM to four children. Not one to color the world in shades of gray, I still believe in and live by the concepts of “good and bad” and “right and wrong”, and the allegiance to God, country and family that used to be the guiding principle for most Americans. |
