Chad grew up NOT in the city, but on a 100,000 acre ranch.  Needless to say, he learned quite a lot about animals, fencing, and country living.  

Chad later joined the Marine Corps (USMC).  After getting out, he went to college and got his degree.  He then became a professional bull rider competing on the PBR.  After breaking most bones and getting impaled by a bull through his head/face, he met his wife (while injured).  Chad then pursued his goal of law enforcement.  Chad became a state trooper up north for a few years.  He then came to Texas and joined another local agency (shoutout APD).  After doing a few years there, he came to GPPD.  He has been with GPPD since 2014.  In his time here he has been in patrol, a Field Training Officer (FTO), Honor Guard member, and part of the Mounted Unit.  

Chad lives the country life where he has numerous animals on their 13 acres of land.   His is currently breeding 1/2 Angus and 1/2 Wagu cows which will be some tasty meat!
