Some people help run a company. Others help build the discipline that keeps it running.
Fifteen years ago, Chad joined Applied Consultants and was part of the formation of Eagle Infrastructure Services, where he has remained a steady force behind the financial strength and structure of the organization ever since. Through growth, challenges, and change, his leadership, financial expertise, and integrity have been constants.
Chad is well known for his direct style and his ability to find the one detail everyone else missed. He asks the hard questions, challenges assumptions, and has a unique talent for helping others turn routine report requests into polished, well-supported work. Nothing gets past him, and most of us wouldn’t want it to.
While his feedback is never sugarcoated, it’s always purposeful. He doesn’t just point out what needs work; he explains the reasoning behind it. For those willing to listen, that combination of honesty and clarity has made him an invaluable teacher and mentor.
He's the kind of leader people seek out for advice, the teammate everyone is glad to have in their corner, and the kind of person who earns respect through his integrity, high standards, and ability to make those around him better at what they do. And outside the office, he's proof that the "grumpy finance guy" reputation is just one side of a much better story.

Happy 15th Anniversary, and here’s to many more years of great work, strong leadership, and maybe a few more smiles along the way.
