Chuck Ondo’s life is a remarkable journey of service, faith, and resilience. Raised in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, in a close-knit family shaped by his father’s WWII legacy and his mother’s leadership in the Ladies of Charity, Chuck learned early the importance of faith and helping others. After graduating from WM North High School in 1983, he joined the Marines, serving as an Ammunition Technician, then continued his dedication to service as a Pennsylvania State Trooper and FBI-trained sniper.
Through his nonprofit, the Semper Fi Mission, Chuck reaches out to those in need—veterans, the homeless, prisoners, and youth—offering practical help and spiritual support. His PrayerCuts initiative, blending free haircuts with prayer, embodies his belief in grace and second chances. Above all, Chuck hopes to be remembered as a man who loved God, served others, and never stopped making a difference.
