Mark Posten & Christine Rush

In 1958, Charles R. “Charlie” Posten established CR Posten Excavating, a company that would support his family and community for over 47 years. He later expanded the business to include his two sons and renamed it CR Posten & Sons Excavating. His sons used the skills they developed to begin their own businesses and careers.

A skilled builder, Charlie built the family’s home in Upper Marlboro, MD in 1959. He was also an excellent mechanic and had a passion for repairing and restoring tractors, machinery and classic cars, including a 1967 Ford Mustang, a huckster Model T and a 1967 Belair. Charlie believed that hard work, honesty, integrity to family and community were the greatest rewards in life.
