He says, "Although I went to Alfred University as a business student, that changed after I joined the student newspaper and fell in love with journalism. But a business background meant that after graduation I was one of the few reporters in the newsroom who could read an annual report." While at AU, Chad wrote for the newspaper and was editor for two years. He was also a Writing Center tutor. In 1994 Chad was selected as Outstanding Male Senior and spoke at commencement.
