2025 MSCA Board of directors

I am a husband, father of 3 and worked in the private sector for the last 26 years. Aside from sporting clays I am an avid bird hunter, fly fisherman, tournament walleye fisherman, and generally enjoy most things outdoors.

My 13-year shooting experience has consisted of everything from serving previously on the MSCA Board as the MSCA President for 7 years and Vice President for a year prior and is my pleasure to serve as MSCA President for 2025.

I have been blessed to travel all over the country shooting and representing Michigan sporting clays. 

God, family, friends, outdoors.

I currently reside in Owosso, Michigan with my wife of years Jannea. We have two adult daughters; Alyssa and Justine and we are also blessed with three grandchildren. I am employed as a healthcare executive, and for the last 12 years have served as the President/CEO of Memorial Healthcare System. I have also worked in healthcare consulting and earlier as a healthcare auditor. I have an undergraduate degree in accounting, and an MBA degree from Northwood University, as well as a post graduate doctoral degree (ABD) from Central Michigan University. I am also a Certified Public Accountant. I served 4 years in the United States Marine Corps.

I am a lifelong shooting enthusiast and have enjoyed many of the shooting sports including NRA 4 position smallbore rifle shooting as a junior and later shooting big bore rifle competition in the Marine Corps and later as a civilian. I also shot competitive pistol many years ago including bullseye, PPC, and later IDPA. I returned to the shooting sports about 15 years ago primarily focused on skeet shooting where I was a member of both the NSSA and MSA. I served on the Michigan Skeet Association board for several years. I became active in the NSCA through the cross over program and have been more focused in sporting clays for about 4 years now and I am currently classified as AA.

 I live in the City of Novi, Michigan with my wife of 48 years. I am a current member of the MSCA Board of Directors. I am also a current member of both the Michigan Shooting Centers and Grand Blanc Huntsman Club. I am classified as a D class shooter. Although I have only been a NSCA member competing in sporting clays since 10/05/2014, I am not unfamiliar with competition at a very high level. I have been a member of several United States fencing teams. I have fenced since the age of 15 all over the world and the United States. As a Veteran, I am trying to become an accomplished shooter. I own my law practice at the Law Office of Charles J. Schneider, P.C. in Livonia since 1984. As a business owner I have many managerial skills. I have been a member of the State Bar of Michigan for forty-three years. I am a member of the Board Directors of the non-profit Detroit Consumer Bankruptcy Association. I have both taught and written in my profession. I have excellent peer and client reviews as an attorney. I have enjoyed serving on the current board as I have gained many friendships there as well as among my fellow shooters on the shooting fields. I will help the Board move forward to serve the Michigan sporting clays community, Michigan shooters within the state with incentives, programs, and awards.
