The Notgermans know hard work; in fact, they invented it. The Notgermans have been producing inexpensive casual wear in Haiti for large corporations since the early 1940's. The values of hard work (and exploiting child labor) have been passed down from generation to generation, making Chest the man he is today.

Chest's grandparents came to America after fleeing Germany during World War II. They decided to change their name from Von Nichtdeutsch to the more "Americanized" Notgerman. After a few months living a precarious existence in the Hell's Kitchen section of New York City, they settled into the Remlington, West Virginia area and began planting roots for an all-American family.

Chest's father, Juergen "Biff" Notgerman, was a West Virginia State Senator in the 60's and 70's. Senator Biff Notgerman was credited with increasing state funding for private schools and reducing the income taxes of high-income families. Who can forget his famous campaign slogan, "Why Penalize Success?" His greatest accomplishment was in 1974 when the "Notgerman Omnibus Crime Bill" was passed outlawing life sentences and imposing mandatory death sentences via forced rectal insertion of a large steel pole for offenses including overdue library books and public urination. Senator Notgerman was often referred to as Biff the Impaler.

Chest's mother, June Notgerman, was instrumental in creating WROHP (Women Running Off Husband's Power) an organization established to protect the interests of the top 1% of American women. WROHP was the organization that forced the FDA to make certain prescription medications more accessible to at-risk high-income families (Valium Act of 1965).

Biff and June Notgerman gave birth to Chest on January 2, 1969 in a log cabin on the old Notgerman homestead outside of Sistersville, West Virginia. Though both of Chest's parent were burdened with hectic schedules, Chest manage to live a happy childhood with the love and care of many non-English speaking nannies.

In 1976, Chest entered the South Florida Beach Military academy. There he developed many of the leadership skills he still holds today. Chest was leader of the Entertainment Battalion and Captain of the Tennis Squad.

In 1989 Chest attended Yale University. He easily floated to the top 3% of his class and graduate with honors. Afterwards he began practicing law in New York with the prestigious firm of Benton, Bueller and Carnes.

Within two years Chest managed to make partner. Everything he touched turned to gold. However, there was always a burning feeling deep down in his chest that something was not right. Sure, there were the supermodels, swanky Upper East Side penthouse and seven figure salary, but Chest knew that there was more to life than just mindless sex and conspicuous consumption. Then, on April 1, 2002, while perusing porn on the internet, Chest accidentally discovered the Neo-Whig website and became enthralled with the political theories of William Grim and William Doty, referred to respectively as the Cicero and Marcus Aurelius of the New Millennium. And from that day on, Chest Notgerman decided to devote his life to the Gospel of Neo-Whiggism.

The rest, as they say, is history.
