Chuck Sykes  has been hunting since the age of six. He took his passion for the outdoors and earned a degree in wildlife biology from Auburn University.

While in school, Chuck worked as a guide for some of the finest commercial lodges the south has to offer. He assimilated the hands-on knowledge from the field with the scientific instruction from the classroom to create his own successful full-service management consulting firm.

He is a member of the NRA, NWTF, QDMA, Buckmasters, ATFA, and AWF. Chuck is the producer and creative director for the show. Chuck also writes wildlife articles and gives seminars on his management practices. The Management Advantage received an award for the "Most Informative Show for 2001" during its first season on The Outdoor Channel.
