This year marks Chuck Shinn’s 50th anniversary in the housing industry. His reputation and influence as management consultant and forecaster are unmatched, with a career that began by rising through the NAHB’s ranks, establishing countless systems that are now standard for builders. Shinn started the University of Denver’s MBA program and created its School of Real Estate and Construction Management. He ran his own successful home building company, as well as others.
