Chad's love for whiskey dates back as early as 1993. One night out with friends for dinner, he was given a pour of William Larue Weller that really intrigued him and started his long journey down the whiskey road. He enjoys the vast history of American Whiskey. Chad is a devoted family man with a long career on the railroad as a locomotive engineer, following in his family's footsteps.  He enjoys all the social aspects of sharing a great bourbon with friends and family, sitting around the fire pit telling stories and sharing jokes.  Chad is often heard saying, "great memories are usually accompanied by great pours with great friends."
