Chad loves having the opportunity to play a small role in supporting campus projects. To him, nothing is more satisfying than visiting a campus after a project is completed and observing the impact it has on students. His wife is a teacher, and with three small children, education has a prominent place in their lives.

He started his career at First American in 2005 in Operations, working closely with Education clients and managing the administrative aspects of the relationship. In 2006, he was the recipient of the company’s Chairman’s Award.

What Clients Say…

Very satisfied with the service provided. Quick responses to emails or calls, if questions arose. Excellent follow-up to ensure all is working as it should with the lease. Would definitely use FAEF again, should the need arise.
