During his career he has worked with a variety companies including Accenture, Deloitte, Kraft Foods and Western Union.
Chad is also a two-time entrepreneur. He was Co-founder and Marketing Director of Blink Mobile, a mobile phone payments platform acquired by Singapore Technologies. As Co-founder and CEO of a social impact company called Ruly, he built an innovative digital photograph curation service focused on generating jobs and college education for a team of people in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
He’s a Midwesterner at heart, although his heart was stolen by California where he surfs, skis & mountain bikes with his wife Jodi and their two kids. Photography is his creative outlet, fueled by good coffee and extensive travel. He shamelessly cries during meaningful films about dads & their kids.
