An experience as a student at the College of Wooster shaped the course of Chuck Hoover’s life, leading him to a long and rewarding career as an investment manager and a community leader in Stark County. Now serving Malone University as the Pendle Hill Executive in Residence, Hoover hopes to create similar meaningful experiences for Malone students.
Recently retired after managing investments for high net worth individuals for two firms in the Canton market for more than 30 years, Hoover’s new role allows him to serve as a mentor to Malone students, connect Malone with the region’s business community, and help develop and lead the University’s new Student Managed Investment Club.
“The way that I work is that I let God lead me,” said Hoover. “I was going to retire and had lots of interests I wanted to continue to pursue. After talking with some wonderful people here at Malone, the role came together and I couldn’t be more pleased.”
Hoover, who directs the local Hoover Foundation and is a descendent of the founders of the North Canton-based Hoover Company, also relishes his role in connecting Malone personnel with the Greater Stark County business community.
As he has done throughout his career, and his life, Hoover is called by his faith to make a difference in people’s lives. He and his wife, Rosemarie, have two grown children and live in Lake Township.
