Chappale Linn Burton

Chappale is married to the love of his life and has two wonderful children. They currently live in Stevenson Ranch, CA. He earned a Psychology degree from the University of Pittsburgh. For him, choosing this major was part necessity and part desire to help others. Trauma at a very young age led him to want to help others heal from similar tragedies. On a playground in Chicago, the city of his birth, he witnessed the tragic murder of his stepfather and biological mother. Not only has Chappale forgiven the assailant, but he has dedicated his life to sharing the tools and techniques that he used to overcome the negative effects that that event, as well as other horrific events, could have had on his life. His healing had been so complete that he turned potential failure into thriving success. While at Pitt, he had the honor of becoming a member of the Division 1 Track & Field team and earning an athletic scholarship. By his senior year, he had become the most valuable player (MVP) and team captain. He was also on the school record breaking mile relay team, won several conference championships as well as a coveted gold Penn Relays watch. Chappale started his professional career as a milieu therapist for one of the leading psychiatric hospitals in Pittsburgh. Later, he continued his life of service as a personal trainer, HR manager, a top producing Insurance Agent and Life Coach. He is very proud of his volunteer fundraising efforts, where he has helped to raise over one million dollars for his children's primary school. At one particular fundraising event, Chappale and his wife Erica raised over one hundred thousand dollars in just over 17 minutes. For more than thirty years, Chappale has studied and taught self- development principles. He has written three books; “How To Choose Happiness...Most Of The Time”, “Unleash The Courage To Launch” and Healing Your Inner Child & Recovery Workbook. He has overcome his fear of heights by skydiving and jolted himself out of complacency by firewalking with Tony Robbins. He is an inspirational speaker and coach who continues to help people heal and reveal their best version of themselves.
