Chuck grew up in Kentucky witnessing his hard-working father struggle to find permanent employment.

His corporate clients range from small family-owned manufacturers like Seaman Corporation to large international corporations such as Schaeffler and Enersys.
Chuck has been Chair of multiple local, state, and national economic development boards. He is a graduate of Oklahoma University’s Economic Development Institute and in 2017 was named a “Top-40 Under 40” Economic Developer by DCI. This award was given due to his extensive work in rural Appalachia communities driving investment, grant funding, job creation, infrastructure development, and overall economic recovery. Sexton most recently led Next Move Group, a national site selection and economic development consulting firm, to record revenues as CEO before founding Strategic Location Advisors, LLC.
