Name (Age): ​Christopher "Chuck" Hadley (58)

​Current Residence: ​Akron, Ohio

Occupation: ​Ex-Military Vet/Stay-at-Home Dad

​Personal Claim to Fame: ​Being able to serve for the Military for a total of 9 years (1991-1999) as an volunteer Marine, soon upgrading in 1996 to an Army Sergeant. Helping my country is something I take pride in, and I think it shows considering in 1993, I got stabbed 28 times by a member of a terrorist military group, and refused to give up in the line of duty.

​Inspiration in Life: ​If there's one thing I care for more than my country and fellow vets, it's my family. I'm happily married to my lovely wife, Ashley for 27 years (it'll be 28 on October 21st), and she birthed my two children, Maya, and Tristan. Tristan has Down Syndrome, which requires me to assist him on a lot of his daily activities (hence being a Stay-at-Home Dad), but he's an amazing ball of energy, and he always looks for the positives in life.

​Hobbies: ​Spending Time with Family, Going to the Gym, Trying to Look Younger than 58 (​chuckling)

​Pet Peeves: ​People who disrespect the military or the veterans who have served or are currently serving. I've dealt with a lot of people who avoided talking to me after I told them I was a veteran, probably because of the notion that "all veterans have PTSD". It's quite offensive, and considering we fought to protect you dumbasses from ACTUAL terrorists (Not Becky from Twitter who bitches about her 18,000 ex-boyfriends), the least you could do is treat me the same way you would to a normal human being.

​Three words to Describe You: ​Hard-Working, Competitive, Fatherly

​​SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: ​I'm a combination of Marty Piombo, a strategic older man with actual knowledge about what he's getting into in the game of ​Survivor, and Joe Anglim, for his likability and ability to connect with people of different backgrounds, origins, and etc.

​Reason for Being on SURVIVOR​: ​I would be lying if I said it wasn't for the money. I want to help Tristan, who is 15, get into college, and become what he's dreamed of being, which is an entrepreneur. Who knows, a small loan of a million dollars can go along way (​chuckling)

​Why you think you'll "survive" SURVIVOR: ​I don't believe I'll have that much trouble when it comes to surviving the elements. But if we're talking socially, I believe I'll be able to connect with people, considering I had to socialize with a group of strangers in the army, without much knowledge of what was going on in the outside world. Hell, I didn't even know that Bill Clinton was elected President of the United States until six months after he was inaugurated.

​Why you think you'll be the SOLE SURVIVOR: ​I know that because I'm older than the majority of people in the game, it's going to be viewed as a hindrance. But I believe I can use that to my advantage. People will not view the older folks as much of a threat, and that's exactly what I want to be seen as. I'm not a quitter, and I don't see a situation where I'm gonna crack under the pressure.
