PRESIDENT AND CEO
Bill Schuck continues his commitment to family,
community, and business as The Schuck Corporation
matures from its early entrepreneurial days. While Bill
is very proud of his father, Stephen M. Schuck, and his
accomplishments, it is a source of pride to them both
that Bill is now establishing his own legacy with The
Schuck Corporation. Bill Schuck's leadership has brought
great success to this unique real estate development
enterprise and he continues to provide a steady hand and
a clear vision of the future.
Bill began his real estate career in 1985 as an
industrial specialist with Grubb & Ellis in Denver. In
1987, he created an affiliate of The Schuck Corporation,
TSC Commercial Realty based in Castle Rock, Colorado,
overseeing operations and sales activity in both Castle
Rock and the Denver metropolitan area. From that
position, he brought the Colorado Springs based company
to Denver to undertake several mixed-use land
developments in various Denver metro locales of which "TransPort,"
a 6,515-acre multi-modal commercial, logistical,
distribution, warehousing, and manufacturing project
served by air, rail and highway, remains his biggest
undertaking.
Assuming the position of President and CEO of The Schuck
Corporation in 1996, Bill took over all day-to-day
company operations and guiding its growth, acquisitions,
sales, financing, and long-term strategy. "While Dad's
vision, relationships, intuition, and drive were the
cornerstone of the early years of our company, a new set
of skills is needed to best manage and maximize the
value of our assets, both present and future. We make a
terrific team together."
In a truly historic move, Bill conceived, designed, and
then executed a very creative private/public venture in
1998. Bringing multiple governmental jurisdictions
together would be a difficult challenge under any
circumstances, but this unprecedented collaboration
involved the U. S. Air Force Academy, the Federal
Highway Administration, the State of Colorado, El Paso
County, and the City of Colorado Springs, and the
construction of a $12 million I-25 Interchange funded
entirely with private dollars. Bill's model is now being
emulated by others.
Part of Bill's long-term strategy is geographic
diversification--exporting the Schuck skills,
experience, and relationships to new markets both in and
outside of Colorado, including Washington and Arizona.
His ability to manage multiple teams of local
specialists has allowed the company to broaden its
financial base while strengthening operations.
Bill currently devotes time, leadership, and personal
commitment to the Board of Directors of Colorado Capital
Bank, Colorado Council on Economic Education, and as
past Board Chairman of the Pikes Peak YMCA. Bill is also
a member of the Forest Lakes Metropolitan District
Board, the Castle Oaks Metropolitan District Board, and
is an alumnus of the Denver Chamber of Commerce
"Leadership Denver" program in 1988.
Bill graduated from the University of Colorado with a
Bachelor of Science degree in marketing. He was a member
of the alpine ski team where he met and, ultimately,
married another ski racer--the former Deirdre Meyer.
They have three daughters: Hillary, Whitney, and
Gabrielle, with whom they spend as much time as possible
on family ski trips
Just as his father has always given to the community,
Bill has achieved his own distinguished record of public
service. He has served as President of the Castle Rock
Chamber of Commerce, on the Board of Directors of the
Jefferson County Community Center for Developmental
Disabilities Foundation, the Mile High Chapter of the
American Red Cross, the Colorado Association of Home
Builders, Silver Key, University of Colorado Real Estate
Foundation, and Pikes Peak Community College Advisory
Council. Maintaining the Schucks' long-term commitment
to young people, particularly those in disadvantaged
circumstances, Bill established a job shadow-mentoring
program, targeting kids who need support. The program
involved children spending one day per month with
company associates, sharing their work experiences in an
effort to elevate those students' personal goals and
aspirations. |
