Chief Operating Officer, AMAC

I run operations for one of America’s largest membership organizations. Before that, I built and sold companies, engineered systems, and advised on markets. I still make things with my hands, and I’m a father of three.

Charles Stucklen

Background

At AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens, I am responsible for how the organization operates: its people, systems, campaigns, and member experience. I joined as Senior Vice President of Digital, rebuilding the infrastructure and the digital strategy behind a membership of more than two million, and now serve as Chief Operating Officer.

Earlier, I founded and sold several e-commerce businesses and launched a hosted communications service for managed service providers and contractors. I ran Stucklen Technology, an integration firm working where audio, video, and IT converge, after years designing automated environments on Crestron and Control4. I also spent time in finance as a licensed investment advisor focused on technology equities and options.

I started in media, photographing for the Associated Press and working with Patrick McMullan and Jennifer Graylock. That early discipline of seeing clearly, and quickly, has stayed with me. Today I appear on Real America’s Voice with Just the News and speak at AMAC events on election integrity and public accountability.
