Bandleader Dave Mustaine knew Behler because Gar Samuelson, the previous drummer for the band, used Behler as his drum tech. Behler eventually was fired by Mustaine for being a cocaine addict[2] and gave up his place in Megadeth to his own drum tech, Nick Menza.

Before Megadeth, Behler was a member of The Meanies and Sinclair, among other groups.

In an interview with Shawn Drover, Shawn stated that Chuck lives in the Detroit area, and attends Megadeth shows whenever they are in the area.

He is currently a member of Motor City Freaks.
