Like Brandon Mann, Chet's giving is primarily expressed through integrated service rather than traditional check-writing. His board service across BBT, YCP, and JAG-Missouri represents significant time investment. His day job at Kingdom Capital is explicitly structured to produce "three returns: financial, cultural, and eternal."

FAITH & ALIGNMENT
Full Name: Chet Guess
Role: CTO & President, Technology Investment Group — Kingdom Capital
Additional roles: CEO & President, The Guess Group LLC; Board, Biblical Business Training; Board, Young Catholic Professionals; Board, JAG-Missouri
Location: St. Louis, Missouri
Military: 8 years as Nuclear Engineer on fast-attack submarines (U.S. Navy)
Faith: Catholic — active in local parish; board member of Young Catholic Professionals (YCP)
Chet describes a journey from compartmentalized faith to "unapologetic integration." At BBT, he shared his story of going from Navy submarines and GE executive suites to declaring: "Can I bring God to work? Can I be unapologetic in my faith?" — answering yes through Kingdom Capital's explicitly faith-driven model. He is a practicing Catholic who is "very active in his local parish" and serves on the board of Young Catholic Professionals, helping young adults "Work in Witness for Christ."

Justification: Chet is deeply faith-integrated (Catholic + marketplace ministry), technically excellent (GE CTO globally, now Kingdom Capital CTO), and actively investing in AI companies. His portfolio focus (healthcare AI, education AI, cybersecurity AI) directly overlaps with Genesis's thesis. Deductions: (1) Catholic vs. evangelical may create minor cultural gaps in some contexts; (2) Limited public profile outside Kingdom Capital circle.

Chet Guess leads the technology investment arm of Kingdom Capital — one of the largest explicitly faith-driven investment firms in America. As CTO and President of the Technology Investment Group, he identifies and funds companies at the intersection of emerging technology and kingdom impact. Kingdom Capital manages $500M+ in assets across multiple strategies.
Chet Guess is the technologist-investor: he understands both the code and the capital. The kingdom gain is technical discernment — he can evaluate whether an AI company is genuinely advancing human flourishing or just dressing up surveillance in faith language.
Crown him: King of the Kingdom Stack. The CTO who judges technology through a stewardship lens.
