Chet joined Truist Bank in 2018 and currently serves as an Institutional Investment Advisor in its Truist Foundations and Endowments Specialty Practice. In this role, he provides comprehensive investment advisory, administration, planned giving, custody, trust and fiduciary services to nonprofit organizations.
He has over 17 years of investment experience, with the past 14 years focused on investing assets for institutions and high-net-worth individuals. Prior to his current position, Chet worked with Duff & Phelps’ Portfolio Valuation group, providing business valuation and intangible asset valuation for hedge funds, private equity funds, and business development companies.

Chet resides in Atlanta with his wife and three children. He feels a personal connection to the Initiative’s mission and work, as his wife recently established her own private pediatric practice, driven by her commitment to expanding access to excellent medical care for children and families.
What Chet loves most about Georgia:
“Other than its vibrant culture and diversity, what I love most about Georgia is the fact that you can experience some of the world’s greatest beaches, mountains, and cities with relative ease.”
What a healthy Georgia means to Chet:
“A healthy Georgia is one where every community has access to quality health care and the resources needed to thrive. No one should have to think twice about going to the hospital—access to care should be a given, not a barrier.”
