Chip in real life
What keeps you busy outside of work?
I love to travel, golf, and fish, but most of my time outside of work is spent with my wife, our two daughters, and our family dog.
How do you give back?
I’m proud to serve on several local boards throughout our community.
Any words you try to live by?
“Anything worth having is worth taking care of.”
