James Chestnut III
James Chestnut III, with a solid foundation in business administration from Ashworth University, has been at the forefront of nonprofit consultancy since his inception at James Chestnut & Associates, Inc. in 2001. Ascending to the role of Chief Executive Officer in 2014, James has continued the legacy of excellence and dedication established by his father. As a born-again Christian, James is deeply rooted in his faith and actively involved at Grace Church of Humble, under the spiritual leadership of Pastors Brett and Scott Jones. His commitment to his beliefs is paralleled only by his devotion to his family. James is blessed to share his life with his wife, Sadie, whose love and support are a cornerstone of his journey. A proud father, James celebrates the lives and achievements of his children, James Chestnut IV, and his daughters, Deja and Chloe. Beyond his professional realm, James’ leisure time is joyfully spent in the company of family and friends, indulging in the occasional round of golf, a testament to his belief in life’s balance. James finds profound inspiration in 1 Corinthians 13, a scriptural passage that eloquently encapsulates the divine principle of love, a guiding force in both his personal and professional endeavors.
