ATHLETICS
Chad appreciates the value of hard work to achieve the best possible results, and enjoys competitive wrestling, and lifting weights to this day.
-WRESTLING-: He wrestled for over 10 years between 6th grade and his Junior year at UC Davis. During this time period, he was a California State Champion, many times California State Place Winner, and even beat the then-reigning World Champion.
He still enjoys wrestling to this day.
-COACHING-
Chad has been an active Sports Coach, especially for his son's Baseball and Soccer Teams. He's been a licensed U.S Soccer Coach, and on one occasion, after the Head Coach got too frustrated with the soccer team losing 7-1, Chad, as the Assistant Coach for the Select Soccer team, was asked by the Head Coach to step in for the last 20 minutes of the game....And Chad guided, motivated, and coached the team to a 7-7 draw. The Referees, the opposing coach, all were shocked as they had never seen such a comeback in their lives. Their words.
Chad brings this urgency and drive to every case he pursues. Let's get with it! I'll wrestle with your creditors so you don't have to!
