With over 25 years of dedicated drumming experience, Chad has honed his skills across various genres, from Hard Rock and Country to Worship and Americana music. His journey began with formal training in classical Marching percussion at Mount Juliet High School in Nashville, TN, which laid a solid foundation for his versatility and discipline. Teaching drumline as a battery Tech at such world class groups as Mount Juliet, Fred J. Page and Father Ryan High Schools in the Local Nashville Area, he helped lead them to multiple state championships, best in percussion and World Finalist placements.

Over the years he’s performed with bands and artists in diverse settings, including intimate clubs, large festivals, and studio sessions. Constantly pushing the boundaries of rhythm and groove while perfecting the live performance environment for the whole team, Chad excels at bringing the feel of the song to the front.
