You Don't Need a Coach.
You Need a Strategic Partner — With No Strings Attached.
Work one-on-one with someone who’s actually built a #1 Ranked "Best Place to Work"
What I Bring to the Table
With over 27 years of experience building businesses, leading teams, and navigating the complexities of personal, professional, and spiritual growth, I bring real-world insights to those I work with. From founding a #1-ranked "Best Place to Work" in a challenging industry to self-facilitating EOS in multiple companies, I've led strong leadership teams and driven meaningful change. My journey includes over a decade in YPO as a moderator, client of Strategic Coach, Kolbe Corp. assessment trainer, and a trusted voice on public stages.
Beyond the accolades, my true passion lies in helping individuals with a growth mindset overcome challenges, unlock their potential, and design lives aligned with their purpose. Whether it's guiding entrepreneurs through pivotal decisions, supporting them in personal transformation, or integrating spiritual paths into their professional life, I aim to show them what they can't see and help facilitate long-lasting change.
This isn't theory—it's lived experience, shared to empower you to levels you never thought were possible.

“Chad has an infectious smile that comes from a genuine and giving heart. He is a believer in the deepest sense of the word. He will out hustle everyone around him and come up with more ideas that can possibly be implemented. Chad is a man of his word. If you engage with him, you better lace up your shoes, and get ready. You and he will never be the same".
Chet Scott, Founder of Built to Lead
Entrepreneur & Thought Leader
While at The Ohio State University, I founded my first company, Choice Recovery, Inc., launching a 25+ year journey of building two award-winning businesses. After successfully exiting both by 2023, my focus now is helping leaders build purpose-driven companies, cultures, systems—and most importantly, themselves.

After selling my company, I knew it was time to give back. I started taking on new clients and poured my heart into helping them and their teams become Built to Lead..

I get a front-row seat to watch a lot of leaders as they engage with their teams. Working with Chad was great. He built a strong, engaged, and highly functional leadership team. As they implemented EOS, I watched Chad make deliberate decisions that allowed him to elevate into his role as a visionary. This transition freed him up to start new ventures. I often refer new clients to work with Chad because I know he'll provide value.
Alex Freytag, Entrepreneur and EOS Implementer
Chad is a powerhouse. He has boundless energy, extraordinary drive, and tremendous vision...but to to it off, he’s legitimately one of the most caring entrepreneurs I know. He is what innovation and vision look like when they are in the hands of a real connector. While working with Chad, I was deeply impressed by the culture he’s cultivated - an absolute business rock star.
Jon LoDuca, CEO Playbook
Chad's impact on leadership and business innovation is nothing short of inspirational. His approach to executive coaching at BUILT TO LEAD is a perfect match. His expertise in educational and organizational leadership is evident in his ability to build cohesive, high-performing teams. Chad's passion for excellence is contagious. His influence and methodologies are invaluable assets to any organization.
Kary Oberbrunner, CEO Blockchain Life
Chad is someone that I deeply admire. His commitment to making a difference in people’s lives coupled with his passion and discipline is incredibly motivating to be around. He’s someone I trust implicitly and can always turn to for guidance and support.
Brett Kaufman, CEO Gravity
If I hadn't been part of it myself, I would not have believed how Chad transformed his entire company into a rock-solid team of leaders who would run through walls for each other. I worked with Chad for 2 years and watched his team build trust and grow Anyone who was part of it will tell you, Chad is like no other coach, and Built to Lead is like no other leadership program.
