Charles Schultz, Treasurer

In 1999, Charlie retired after 36 years in general construction management and came to the Fairplay area to build a home for himself and his wife Carolyn. Since moving to South Park, Charlie has been involved in management of various building projects including the medical building in Fairplay.

In his free time, Charlie enjoys skiing, hiking, cutting wood for the winter, climbing at least one fourteener each summer, and learning to fly fish. Charlie believes that two key components to a thriving community are good schools and adequate health care access. Therefore, Charlie is committed to bringing healthcare to South Park by serving as a board member for the South Park Health Service District.
