Chuck Mills
Owner & President
As owner and President of Mills Machine Company, Inc., a major custom manufacturer of earth drilling tools founded by his family in 1908, Chuck began his lessons in leadership at a young age, working in the machine shop throughout high school, alongside his father, David.
Chuck began to learn the business, but of equal importance, he gained early insight into the value of practical experience, something that has helped him grow Mills Machine Company into one of the most innovative and diversified earth drilling tool manufacturers in the U.S.
Following graduation from the University of Central Oklahoma with BBA in Management, Chuck returned to Mills Machine Company. He worked with his father until David retired. Chuck then bought the company stock and became President and CEO, a position he has held for more than 35 years.
