Chad's Story

Chad grew up on the banks of the Mississippi River in Dubuque, Iowa. To learn and understand the world around him, he attended The University of Iowa, Kirkwood Community College, Des Moines Area Community College, and Northern Arizona University. Ever since Chad was a young boy he had an affinity for creativity and a drive to make money. In his adolescence, he and his cousin Matt started a lawncare company mowing lawns and general garden maintenance. This eventually pushed him to join Junior Achievement and Business Professionals of America in high school where his passion for entrepreneurship bloomed. Throughout his college career, he continued to start his businesses which allowed him to gain crucial experience wearing the many hats of an entrepreneur. 

​

In 2011 Chad left Iowa to care for his greataunt in Mesa, Arizona. This relationship which had started as a symbiotic relationship had turned into a bond of friendship over the remaining five years of her life. In Arizona Chad had found himself finally and in 2013 he finally met his partner and now Husband Anthony.  With Anthony by his side, the two of them have built some of the coolest brands, concepts, and experiences Phoenix has to offer.
