Chuck Zaepfel is the Director for Junior Achievement of Arizona’s Southern District, serving students in Tucson and the surrounding areas. A native Tucsonan, Chuck has worked with many local nonprofits over the years as a volunteer, donor, board member and fundraising consultant.

Chuck started his career at Custom Computer Services as a programmer and computer operator developing software for local companies covering payroll, estimating, medical billing, utility billing, and collection agency systems. He then took over management and ultimately purchased the company in 1985, which he rebranded as CCS Direct Mail and adapted the company to a changing economy. After mailing more than one hundred million mail pieces, he sold it to AlphaGraphics Commercial Printing Services in 2005.

Chuck left that company after 34 years of entrepreneurship and business management to transition into nonprofit leadership. As the Southern District Director, he oversees the implementation of Junior Achievement programs, fundraising, community awareness and development of business relationships in Tucson and the surrounding area.

Chuck is a graduate of the University of Arizona and is proud to be an entrepreneur, leveraging his entrepreneurial track record to grow Junior Achievement’s presence in Tucson.
