His two children attended school in Valley Stream, graduating from Central High School. He is a former vice president with the Little League and a leader with the Central High School District’s Business Advisory Council. Chiarello often speaks to high school business classes and reminds students that the skills they learn as teenagers, from leadership to time management, will be required no matter what career path they take.

Chiarello said that Valley Stream has given him a lot, so he feels the obligation to give back. “I’ve been fortunate enough to have a successful business here,” he said. “You give a little and a lot comes back.”
