Chad joined Diamond Engineering in 1996 as a general laborer and has assumed increasing levels of responsibility culminating in full operational responsibility for the Wichita division in 2014. Born in Grand Junction, CO, he graduated from high school in Cortez, CO and attended Dixie College in St. George, UT on a baseball scholarship.
