Dr. Chaney graduated from Dental School at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Dentistry in 1977, receiving the Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. For his undergraduate training, he attended the University of California at Riverside, and received his bachelor's degree in Physics. Dr. Chaney is strongly committed to education. He continues his dental education with regular attendance at post-graduate courses, so that he may stay abreast of current developments in dentistry. |
He is a member of the California Dental Association, and the American Dental Association. If dentistry does not keep him busy enough, then he has plenty of other interests to keep him out of trouble as well. He enjoys his family, with his wife Sharon, and his two boys Alex and Neil. The family enjoys hiking, camping, boating and scouting together. Everyone enjoys making things, as you can see on the family's web site. He is an Assistant Scoutmaster of Boy Scout troop 77, and loves to spend time with the scouts. With the scouts he enjoys hiking, backpacking, canoeing, and many other activities. He also plays music in a country band called The Desert Moon Band. He applies his artistic talents, assisted by some of the skills he learned in dentistry, to some unusual creations. His interests in electronics, computers, metalworking and woodworking are mostly self-taught. He likes making things so much, that when he first learned about what dentists do and how much creating things with his hands was involved, he said "This looks like the profession for me!". |
Dr. Chaney is not a dental officer, but here he is touring the dental clinic on the aircraft carrier USS Hornet in Alameda, CA. He visited the museum ship with the Boy Scouts, and just had to see the way it used to be done on an aircraft carrier. |
