About
Chuck Downey is the owner of C & D Professional Services, a company specializing in commercial, industrial, and government surplus material and equipment. He and his associates bring excellent buying opportunities to companies in all 50 US states and abroad. His role in the company is the oversight of all projects, assisting associates with purchasing decisions, sales, and logistical management as needed.
Interest in government surplus began 35 years ago, and after experiencing some initial success at a local Army base, Chuck decided to work full time buying and selling an amazing variety of fascinating equipment, including a $450,000 EOTS Cinetheodolite, which he agreed to purchase for $10. After being featured in Readers Digest in 1990, calls came in from around the country, asking about the surplus business, so a surplus business seminar was formulated, and seminars were given by Chuck in Oklahoma, California, Arizona, Texas and Washington.
Prior business experience, and a familiarity with electrical, electronic, refrigeration, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, coupled with a strong mechanical aptitude, has all served well to help in the constant decision making process regarding purchasing (or not) the steady stream of equipment that becomes available every day in the surplus business.
Chuck has been married to his wife, Dot, for 57 years, and they have four adult children and ten grandchildren. He has been fairly active all of his life and has a pilot’s license, enjoys boating, motorcycling, racquetball, scuba and free diving. He is also a retired senior pastor of a local church, and continues to serve in a street ministry in Olympia, WA.
Over the years, Chuck and his highly qualified associates have put together millions of dollars’ worth of deals on both new and used equipment and material. Trust, integrity, and honoring your word are all of paramount importance throughout his company.
Chuck’s motto: “If it’s not a good deal for everyone, it’s no deal.
