In his personal life, Chambers is a devoted husband and father who enjoys outdoor activities. He and his wife, Betsy, a kindergarten educator in Avon Community Schools, share two daughters. Their eldest graduated from Grace College in 2024 and is married, while their youngest is currently a sophomore at Purdue University. The Chambers family actively participates in various recreational activities, from CrossFit to fishing and hunting, and cherishes moments spent together, particularly at the lake and at Disney.
