Meet the Chim-Cheroo Team

Don Rhine: Owner/Founder/Chimney Technician

Don started Chim-Cheroo in 1988 after deciding that he wanted more for himself and his family than working in a local factory could provide. He received an education from Ohio State University and relied on a combination of hard work and industry knowledge to get Chim-Cheroo off the ground and running. Eventually, Don’s business venture took off and began to flourish, allowing him the opportunity to work in the chimney services industry full-time.

Today, over 35 years later, Chim-Cheroo is still flourishing, still growing, and still looking forward to the future. Don has been married to his wife Bonnie for 40 years and has three sons – two of which work with him at Chim-Cheroo. Don has been a Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA)-certified technician for over 25 years and is a member of the National Chimney Sweeping Guild (NCSG), an esteemed organization that promotes safe practices and the highest level of integrity with regard to chimney and venting work.

With over 15 years of industry experience, Tom is responsible for expanding Chim-Cheroo’s services to include chimney restoration and chimney rebuilds.

Also a member of the Tri-Community Volunteer Fire Department in Greenwich, Tom is always on the hunt for new ways to serve others.
