Chad enjoyed a diverse career beginning at a cell phone store and a call center while he was in high school followed by many years in the food industry and then dabbled in the oil industry for a little while. He ended his career as a chemist, a role he was proud of himself for accomplishing. His thirst for knowledge was insatiable, always eager to delve into the latest developments and share his favorite bits of information with family and friends.
