Chandler Whitney

Chandler’s career started before he was 8-years-old with books about electricity and science. He read them all and turned an old pump house out back into his “laboratory” where he disassembled broken clocks, toys, and radios and used the parts to build and experiment with his own contraptions.

His uncanny ability to see problems and imagine solutions seems to set the beat of his life. Build things, solve problems, share knowledge, repeat.

Chandler holds an English degree from Belhaven University, and his background in electrical, HVAC, information technology, remodeling homes, teaching at a military school, and supplying industries with materials makes for an eclectic skill set.

Chandler founded and operates The Foundry, a non-profit organization that provides mentorship and training in practical, masculine life skills to young men with absent fathers. He also serves as an elder in his church.

Chandler lives in Vicksburg with his wife, Alison, and their three children.
