Since serving as a mission specialist on three space shuttle missions (STS-38, STS-48 and STS-62) and retiring from NASA in 1996, Charles Donald "Sam" "Chuck" Gemar has been a director in the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense and an engineering test pilot and director of flight operators at Bombardier.

Today he serves as an advisor for Starlight Education, a group that provides STEM-focused training opportunities around the globe. From the Keloland Media Group:

A former NASA space shuttle astronaut has landed back in his home state of South Dakota.
Yankton native Chuck Gemar moved from Wichita, Kansas to Sioux Falls just over a month ago. ...
While Gemar is earthbound back in South Dakota, he'll still take off on a flight every once and a while traveling around the world teaching STEM fields to students.
"In my most immediate future, we're going to be doing programs in Malaysia this year, New York City in October. Next year, we'll be in Saudi Arabia in the month of February, China in January," Gemar said.
