Roy Chastain has had two main careers; a Communications Technician in the U.S. Navy and at The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, and as an attorney with the State of California. He has been married to Vicky for 40 years and they have one daughter.

He retired from the state in November 2007. Roy was raised by his  depression-era dad who believed “Stocks aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.” So, he learned that a savings account was important. That changed in 1992 when 12 friends from church formed the Greenhaven Investment Club.

Besides learning to do SSGs by hand, and learning from instructors with the Sacramento Area Chapter, he learned the BetterInvesting (NAIC at that time) philosophy from Ellis Traub. The most recent gurus have been Carol Theine and Doug Gerlach, along with many others. He eventually joined the Chapter Board of Directors and in 2014 joined the ICLUBcentral Board of Directors and the BetterInvesting Financial and Audit Committee.

He has also performed Club Visits and made presentations to city libraries and Presbyterian Women on Financial Literacy for Women and Families, as well as being a presenter on some webinars, and now work the back room for StockUp and TickerTalk programs.
