Chad started racing when he was 15 at a local non-sanctioned track called warren, IL. That is when he got hooked to racing.  After that first race Chad started to do more local competitions. He worked his way to the nationals, finished 4th in 4 Stroke A class in 2002. During the 2003 season Chad stayed in the A class nationally to hone his skills.  In 2004 Chad advanced to Pro-Am while still racing the A Class.  He finished 3rd in both.  During the 2005 season Chad concentrated on the Pro-Am class, finishing 7th for the year in Pro-Am production.  After only five years on the amateur circuit, Chad made the move to the Pro class in 2006.  With the help of several impressive finishes he is currently11th in the Pro GNC class during his rookie year.  Seeing the enormous potential of the new WPSA series, Chad has decided to switch to that series and run it exclusively for the remainder of 2006. Other than running his local track at Walnut, IL for the national. Chad finished the 2006 season with a 6th place in the ultra-competitive WPSA pro class.
