Chad began working at the Southern Hills Mall Chick-fil-A in the early 2000s with his future Father-in-Law who had been an Operator for more than 30 years. Chad endeavored to learn the business and further his leadership skills under his mentor. He was then chosen to advance to the Operator position after just a couple of years.
Chad’s mentor was selected to operate another store as he remained at the mall location, developing leaders and honing his craft for over 6 years. He was then selected to Operate Sioux City’s first free-standing unit that opened in 2012. After 20+ years of being an Owner/Operator with Chick-fil-A, Chad continues to use his entrepreneurial mindset to innovatively grow the business and serve his community.
Chad is passionate about caring for others. His mission is to have Sioux City’s most caring company by glorifying God through being a faithful steward of all He has entrusted and to have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.
His store gives back to various areas of the community by partnering with organizations such as:
Hope Center
Sioux City School Foundation
American Cancer Association
The Arena
Gospel Mission
Children’s Miracle Network.
