Chad has 10 years of experience in the automotive industry, where he specialized in product design and development and excelled in new business acquisition and innovative programs. Prior to this, he held several retail sales and summer construction jobs.
Chad graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Purdue University's School of Technology. His hands-on and inquisitive nature has been apparent since childhood, demonstrated by his penchant for taking apart and repairing electronics, building free-form workbenches, and constructing various toy sets. He furthered this practical experience on his grandparents’ farm during his youth, where he learned to build fences, tear down buildings, repair machinery, and understand how implements functioned.
In his later years, he blended his practical and classroom knowledge to remodel several homes, including a complete rebuild in 2018. Chad’s willingness and determination to overcome challenges are demonstrated by his completion of several Spartan obstacle courses and the 2019 Detroit Marathon.
