Chuck Rothstein
Chuck Rothstein, or
as we know him “the
man who started it
all,” had this
brilliant idea in
1969; moving to the
current location in
1983. Chuck received
his Bachelor of
Science degree in
Business
Administration from
Penn State and
learned other useful
information from the
“School of Hard
Knocks.” He has been
the guest speaker on
several occasions
for the American
Rental Association.
Some of his favorite
events over the
years have been
Nissan, the Alex
Haley Farm, and
Quaker Oats. He is
married to Lunda
Brady and they have
2 sons. In his spare
time he enjoys
traveling, boating,
and fishing. Chuck
has had much success
over the years, and
always remembers his
mantra.
Press
On
Nothing in the world
can take the place
of persistence.
Talent will not;
nothing
is more common than
unsuccessful men
with talent. Genius
will not; unrewarded
genius is almost a
proverb. Education
alone will not; the
world is full of
educated derelicts.
Persistence and
determination alone
are omnipotent. |
