Chad's joy, outside his walk with Christ, is his family. After growing up in ILL, Chad married Marla in 1993 after dating in high school. They went off from ILL after high school as Chad served in the Navy for four years. Along the way, Chad received Christ when he least expected it. He didn't grow up in church, and his road to Christ was a unique one. 

After the Navy, Chad went to college chasing what he thought was his career as an aircraft technician, but God proved otherwise. He received his degree and Airframe and Powerplant license from Southern Illinois University.

A few years into that he was compelled that full time ministry was his destiny, so he loaded up the truck and moved to Florida (sounds like a TV theme song). While in ministry, he received his Master's degree in Theological Studies from Liberty University. He served in a great church in West Melbourne, and now we call him Pastor here at DBC, or as he prefers, Chad.

Chad's Hobbies: Family time, Running, biking, hiking, Miami Dolphins football, and good coffee
