Roberts was a Cub Scout and Boy Scout during his youth in Franklin, where he and his family currently reside.

Roberts was chosen for his community involvement, and the example he has set for youth in the area. He is the President and CEO of Ames Rubber Corporation. He has served on the board of the Sussex County Community College Foundation, the Sussex County Economic Development Partnership, the Sussex County Strategic Growth Planning Committee, the Franklin Zoning Board, and the Lake Mohawk Golf Club Board of Governors.

“It’s a great turnout and because of the honoree,” said Joe Toscano of CP Engineers & Architecture, who was an event co-chairman along with Tony Torre of Sussex Bank. “I don’t think we could have had a better choice.”

“Chuck was chosen because he serves as an outstanding role model to the youth of Sussex County and beyond,” said Jennifer Volz, the Development Director of the Boy Scouts of America, Patriots’ Path Council.

Volz said a number of past honorees were some of the individuals who had suggested Roberts as an honoree for this year.
