If you asked a young Chuck Gordon what he wanted to be when he grew up, the co-founder and CEO of a tech company in the storage industry would not have been his answer. Chuck’s path to becoming the CEO of Storable has been anything but ordinary.
Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Chuck ventured out west for college, where he studied ceramics at UCLA. It didn’t take long before Chuck met his suitemate, best friend, SpareFoot co-founder, and future Storable CIO, Mario Feghali. The two came up with the idea after Chuck was struggling to find a place to store his stuff as he prepared for a semester abroad. They soon relocated to Austin, TX to launch SpareFoot, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Chuck is truly the heart and soul of our company. He’s fearless and fun-loving, never afraid to admit when he doesn’t know something and is always open to new ways of thinking. His leadership style reflects his personality — he values hard work but not at the expense of anyone’s happiness. It’s no surprise that Chuck’s favorite country to visit is Bhutan, where Gross National Happiness is a key metric.
When he’s not working to shape the future of Storable and the Self Storage Industry, Chuck enjoys crafting elaborate meals in the kitchen, spending time with his wife Jessica, tending to their garden, playing with his Sussex Spaniel Napoleon, or adding to his total of 56 countries visited. A natural leader, he takes us places, and the team at Storable is ready to follow Chuck’s lead wherever that might be next.
