Favorite roles include the title roles in Hedwig And The Angry Inch and Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, as well as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar and Frank N Furter in The Rocky Horror Show. Chad’s favorite show to direct is A Chorus Line featuring the original Broadway choreography, which he has reset staging for different productions at theatres in Texas and Pennsylvania.

Chad is now seeing his dream come true, with the opening of Gettysburg Community Theatre in 2009. He chartered the International Thespian Society Troupe at Gettysburg Area High School in 2011 and guided GCT to become the Eastern States Regional Premiere of The Penguin Project (theatre program for youth with special needs and their peer mentors) here in PA in 2014.

Chad organized the first-ever Gettysburg Pride Fest in 2017 and chairs the event each year to help bring more LGBTQ+ Allies education, awareness, and inclusion to Gettysburg. Chad has been a board member of the Pennsylvania Association of Community Theatres, Eastern States Theatre Association, and the national board of directors of the American Association of Community Theatres (AACT).

Chad co-facilitated the first two Youth Summits for AACT, including a weekend residency in NYC with youth from around the country networking and learning from professional actors, playwrights, and directors. He is honored to have been the Chair of the very first Youth Theatre Festival for AACT's National Festival in 2017 as well as in 2019 and 2023. Chad saw another dream come true when he was asked to help host/organize the AACT National Festival 2019 right here in Gettysburg in June 2019. Literally, hundreds of community theatre artists traveled to spend a week in Gettysburg to celebrate community theatre. During the festival, Gettysburg Mayor Ted Streeter presented him with the Key To The Borough of Gettysburg.

Adding to the educational mission of GCT, in 2024, Chad directed the first ever in person Miss Gettysburg Scholarship Competition becoming part of the acclaimed Miss Pennsylvania and Miss America system.

Chad wishes to thank every student, parent, volunteer, cast/crew/faculty/staff member, board member, sponsor, and patron for being a part of this dream called Gettysburg Community Theatre. He sends much love to his very supportive and loving family back in Texas, who always encouraged him to follow his dream!
