Chad was born in Memphis, Tennessee, moved to Mississippi at age five, and has lived in The Magnolia State ever since. He likes to spend as much time as possible on a lake with a fishing pole in his hand or speeding around a golf course. He is a nonfiction fan and true crime junkie.

He received his Bachelor’s in Paralegal Studies from the University of Memphis with intentions of attending law school; however, he spent a year supporting teachers with technology integration and was forever changed. He went back to school to obtain his teaching certification and taught middle school English. The perpetual student, he later returned to school one more time and received his Master’s in Educational Leadership and Supervision from the University of Southern Mississippi.


Chad currently serves as Campus President for City University Schools in Memphis. He lives with his wife and Labradoodle, Louie. When he isn’t roaming the halls, he can be found writing about teaching and life at imaginelit.com.
