After the murders of his two oldest sons, Chet became a devoted victim advocate who has volunteered his time for this cause.  Chet, a kind, loving father of four sons and a Grandfather, works with our "Safer Schools" Team, and has worked constantly and state wide with the families of homicide victims.  Chet counsels them; Chet goes to court with them to try to help them understand our judicial system.  He tries to make sure they understand they are not alone.  Chet has worked with more than 100 families and attended more than 60 trials and hearings.  Chet founded a support group, "Victims of Violence, Inc."  Chet is past president of the "NC Victim Assistance Network", past president of the "HP Community Against Violence", past president of "Crime stoppers of High Point" and very active member of the "NC Interagency Council of Victim Service Providers".  Chet is a certified Victim Service Provider.  He has attended multiple conferences on working with victims such as "Federal Domestic Violence Conference", "Death Notification", ... This was all volunteer.

Chet also was a Real Estate Broker.
