Chad attended Ball State University and after graduation spent 6 years working with Campus Crusade for Christ at the University of Illinois and overseas in the Middle East. While at Illinois Chad met his amazing wife, Erin. She was working for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and in 2001 they were married. They have four children: Reed, Meredith, Anna Kate, and Nicholas.
