Now retired to Greenville to be near his kids and grandkids, Big Chuck says: “I am thrilled to become a part of Greenville History Tours. After visiting here many times, my wife and I just couldn’t resist the call of this exciting, magical place, and we moved here several months ago. I look forward to having you join me on a walking tour! Owner John Nolan has taught me well and I promise you a fun and fascinating time as we walk around this awesome one-of-a-kind All-American city together!”
