Dr. Chesney and his wife Debbie have 6 children and a growing number of grandchildren. They are very involved in their church and local community, as well as with Homes of Love (a ministry that is close to their heart for children in Southeast Asia and Africa). Dr. Chesney is energetic and enthusiastic and has a long list of activities that he has been very involved in, including coaching both soccer and swimming. He can frequently be seen on long bike rides, spending time on the lake, laughing with his long-term dental team members, or enjoying the company of his loving, growing family.
