Chad grew up in Vail, Colorado skiing, ranching, and doing bookkeeping for his mother’s retail stores. He moved to Eugene, Oregon in 2004 to begin his college education, but was drawn to the desert and the University of Arizona when visiting his father in 2007. Chad moved to Tucson and finished his degree in Accounting at the UofA in 2010 and has been working in small to mid-sized accounting firms ever since. Chad is fascinated by taxation and helping individuals and business owners maximize profits, while legally minimizing their tax liabilities. In his free time, Chad can be found enjoying Arizona’s wilderness areas with his German Shepherds, Heidi and Klauss, taking day trips on his motorcycle, and volunteering with Rotary International, as well as the Arivaca Community Internet Cooperative. Chad is also a die-hard Arizona Wildcats Basketball fan.
