Chazz Burke is as multi-faceted as they come. A semi-retired veteran, Chazz currently works as a Transportation Specialist at the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Transportation has been a running theme in his career, as he has handled transit security for Port Authority, as well as transport for the US Postal Service. He is also the founder of the Pittsburgh Motor Mafia, a car club for true automobile enthusiasts. They meet to share ideas, travel together, and host community events. Chazz is also an entrepreneur and offers products online.

Chazz is the personification of a phoenix rising out of the ashes. Back in 2008, while searching for outlets for the anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that he was enduring, Chazz discovered that penning poetry was just the balm he had been looking for. That first poem opened up a creative side that had been lying dormant for years.

Since that time, Chazz has unlocked a plethora of gifts and interests in the form of music, spoken word, custom graphics, comedy, photography, acting and shooting videos. Out of pain and angst, his life turned into a veritable kaleidoscope of creativity.

Through these creative endeavors, Chazz discovered the winning formula for joy and for coping with the roller coaster of life. Speaking of winning, Chazz can be found on social media platforms as “HashtagChazzWins”, on Instagram and as “Chazz Wins” on Facebook.

Chazz lives his life focused on joy, fun, and family. This is how he has become whole again.
