Early in his career, he co-founded CRC Electronics, a start-up that manufactured videotape automation systems for program origination, time-shifting and commercial insertion.

He has also joined the advisory board at ARTEMIS, a San Francisco wireless start-up. In recent years Chiddix’s board appointments have also included VIRGIN MEDIA, SYMMETRICOM, MAGNUM SEMICONDUCTOR and DYCOM. Most recently he joined the boards at Mt. Evans Home Healthcare and Hospice and the Mountain Area Land Trust, both in Evergreen, Colorado.

Chiddix’s interest in electronics and technology began with amateur radio in high school and continued at Cornell University, where he studied electrical engineering. During his military service he attended and then taught at the U.S. Army Air Defense Command School at Fort Bliss, Texas.

Chiddix was inducted into the Cable Television Pioneers in 1991. In 2007, the Cable Center inducted him into the Cable Hall of Fame.
