Bob was 21 years old when he began his newspaper career in South Jersey.
An Ocean City summer local and surfer, Bob was thrilled to build his career, home, and family in the area he loved. He spent 15 years learning with the Press of Atlantic City, then continued growing for another 9 years with the Current.
Our family grew through the years. We have been blessed with 3 beautiful children and a home in Egg Harbor Township.
As the economy changed both nationally and locally, the industry began to change, as well. Large corporate companies bought up much of Atlantic County’s media outlets, including our daily paper and 2 major weekly publications.
From this turmoil, Shore Local was born. We are proud to be a locally owned, homegrown publication that focuses on the people, places and events in Atlantic County, Ocean City, and Upper Township. Bob and I had a vision to build a local business that spotlights and promotes other local businesses, and here we are!
When you support Shore Local, your dollars stay right here in our own communities. We are a grassroots family business with an authentic connection to the areas we spotlight, and we are proud to share our love for our shore towns with all of you.
Thank you for supporting our vision, and happy reading.

Charles (Chuck) was born in Atlantic City and has lived Downbeach for about 60 years. Charles graduated from Atlantic City High School and went on to graduate from the University of Charleston, West Virginia where he was on the varsity rowing team. He has competed in varsity and Masters races from Canada to Florida and threatens to get back on the water shortly. Charles worked at The Press of Atlantic City for 20 years as a Senior Advertising Executive and as a photographer for the Advertising Department. He then went on to continue his newspaper career at a local weekly, The Current where he also worked in Advertising before becoming Circulation Director. After the Current was sold to a large corporation, Charles moved on to the Shore Local Newsmagazine free from consultants and their buzz words of the day. At Shore Local, Charles worked in Advertising, has had his photos on the covers and he has written over 100 pieces for his column, Senior Moments. It is in these columns that Charles, as a senior citizen shares his memories of a life at the shore as well as views on aging, social media and the changing world. Photography continues to be a creative outlet for Charles as he is a prolific source of images for many stock agencies including a graphics agency in New York where he has been selling his work for around 20 years. Last year, Charles and his wife, Rubye completed a 10-week, 9,100 mile cross country camping trip traveling through 20 states visiting many of our National Parks. Of course, thousands of photos were made along the trip and Charles just finished self-publishing a book filled with photos and experiences from the journey.
