Born and raised on the bayous of Southern Louisiana with all their simple complexities, Chad navigated the treacherous waters of life equipped with a heavy dose of naiveté and his right brain dragging the ground. Being an entertainer at heart, his favorite pastime –– on or off stage –– is making people smile. A man of many talents when it comes to the arts, with a little acting, singing, and dancing, Chad was the “FUN” guy for seven years in all of Fullerton, California’s elementary schools while working for All the Arts for All the Kids. He taught original educational based songs and stomp/tap dances, depending on their curriculum. He was the lead singer and drummer for an indie, three-piece rock band entitled Second Half. For 11 years he managed/served/bartended Heroes, a restaurant with an ambience reminiscent of the television series “Cheers” in Downtown Fullerton.
While busy living as a complex, caring, loving, funny, instinctive, intelligent, intuitive, triple-threat of a talent who has a habit of putting smiles on people’s faces, he finds time to look inward and embrace the sacred peace of silence. Chad graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University with a bachelor’s degree in Communication and a minor in Theatre. After obtaining his degree, he continued on to graduate school to obtain his MFA in Acting from California State University, Fullerton. Chad resides in Fullerton with his wife Kim and their cat Boo. For the past seven years, he thought he was writing a book. In truth, the book was rewriting him.
