Roger Chapin has had a distinguished and varied career in both the nonprofit and entrepreneurial worlds. Starting with the Vietnam War, nonprofits he founded and directed have raised over $500 million to help hospitalized and disabled veterans and active duty personnel. His organization's distributions include 25 million arts and crafts kits to VA and military hospitals. Chapin also founded USAopoly, a leading manufacturer of board games. He earlier had successful ventures in real estate development, the mass marketing of insurance and the toy business. Given his special interest in national security, Chapin recently founded Make America Safe. It will endeavor to better inform the public about the grave peril we face in our life-and-death struggle against radical Islam and its allies, and what we must do to prevail. He has published several articles on this subject, in which Chapin typically offers creative, bold and often controversial ideas and commentaries. Chapin lives in San Diego with Elizabeth, his wife of 53 years.
