Meet Chuck & Al! (Chuck-Al-s)

As long-time Tacoma-area business owners and operators, both Chuck and Al are active in our local community and proud to lend their support to a broad spectrum of deserving causes. Chuck is a past president of Tacoma Rotary 8 and a founding member of the Go Local Tacoma organization, while Al is a frequent speaker at local area schools for Business Week and Job Fairs.
In addition, they are both highly respected leaders in the office products industry nationwide. Chuck is a former board member of the National Office Products Alliance, the industry’s leading trade association, while Al has been a featured speaker at numerous industry conventions and educational events as an expert on topics such as customer relationship management and effectively leveraging technology in a business.
When they aren’t hard at work finding new ways to keep their customers’ offices running smoothly, you can find them both on the golf course or boasting proudly of their grandchildren’s latest accomplishments. Chuck and Al have both resided in the Tacoma area for over 30 years and are proud to have a successful, growing business in the heart of the City of Destiny!
