Chad began his swimming career at the age of 4 in the Prince-Mont Swim league with his neighborhood pools. Summer swimming is where Chad’s love of swimming began. In high school, he joined Machine Aquatics which was a year-round swim program; and he swam for his high school, Archbishop Spalding. Chad’s love of swimming did not stop there, he also swam at Saint Peter's University for 3 years, which was a Division I Collegiate sport.  

Chad has a knack for working with children of different swim skill levels and he has a desire to help them develop both as a swimmer and a teammate. Chad is passionate about helping kids become better swimmers as well as helping them to find enjoyment in the process. He has worked with all levels of swimmers ranging from swim school up to junior nationals.

Chad serves as the head site coach at Fairland Aquatics and is the primary coach for National Prep and High Performance Orange.
