Chad began competitive swimming shortly after his 8^th birthday at the Guilford Swim Club in Chambersburg, PA during the summers.  A year later, he was swimming year round filling the winters by swimming for the local Y swim team - the Chambersburg Chargers. His preferred events were Breaststroke and the IM, filling in with Back and Free when the team needed it. Not bad for a kid who was paralyzed with fear of the water up until the age of 7.  Chad credits coming to his senses to Mark Stater, the swim coach and head lifeguard at Guilford; a true example of what a coach can accomplish.  Upon reaching college, swimming had to take a back seat due to course load and work. Chad attended Drexel University and holds multiple undergraduate and graduate degrees in Business Management and Engineering.  He currently works in the pharmaceutical industry and teaches undergraduate business courses at night for two local universities.

Chad began his coaching activities with soccer (his other favorite sport) a number of years ago within the MonU Soccer organization.  When his sons joined the Gators’ summer team,he realized just how much he missed and loved swimming. He now actively coaches both swimming and soccer, which have alternating seasons throughout the year.

You can usually see Chad doing his own swim workout at night either before or after the swim team practices.  Along with swimming, Chad enjoys playing in a men’s indoor soccer group, participating in the company golf league, and reading.  He is married to Heather (the Gators’ dryland coach) and they have two very active young Gators, Nathan and Adam.
