About Me

Entrepreneur & Thought Leader

While attending Ohio State University, I founded my first company Choice Recovery, Inc. and spent the next 25 years building two award-winning companies. After successfully exiting both in 2022-2023, I’m now focused on my true passion—passing on and sharing everything I’ve learned about entrepreneurship and leadership.

My Builder's Journey

I started with Built to Lead in 2010—fully committing to my own development. Not just for myself, but for offering it to my entire team. Our results were transformational.

Together We Transform

After selling my company, I knew it was time to give back. I started taking on new clients and poured my heart into helping them and their teams become Built to Lead..

We Don't Teach,

We Build.

You want to work with someone who’s been there. I launched my first company in college and scaled it to 10,000+ clients before selling it on its 25th anniversary. I’ve built award-winning company cultures, exited multiple businesses, and now I build leaders.

The Built to Lead app is where that journey continues—designed for growth-minded individuals and teams ready to strengthen their identity, sharpen their leadership, and become Built to Lead.

With daily disciplines, leadership frameworks, and real-time guidance, this isn’t another content hub. It’s a community—and a system—for becoming who you’re meant to be.

I was on day 87 using my Kindle and then joined the community and started back on day one. The difference was like going from black and white to color TV. You've done a fantastic job explaining with the melody lines!

I get a front-row seat to watch a lot of leaders as they engage with their teams. Working with Chad was great. He built a strong, engaged, and highly functional leadership team. As they implemented EOS, I watched Chad make deliberate decisions that allowed him to elevate into his role as a visionary. This transition freed him up to start new ventures. I often refer new clients to work with Chad because I know he'll provide value.

Alex Freytag, Entrepreneur and EOS Implementer

Chad is a powerhouse. He has boundless energy, extraordinary drive, and tremendous vision...but to to it off, he’s legitimately one of the most caring entrepreneurs I know. He is what innovation and vision look like when they are in the hands of a real connector. While working with Chad, I was deeply impressed by the culture he’s cultivated - an absolute business rock star.

Jon LoDuca, CEO Playbook

Chad's impact on leadership and business innovation is nothing short of inspirational. His approach to executive coaching at BUILT TO LEAD is a perfect match. His expertise in educational and organizational leadership is evident in his ability to build cohesive, high-performing teams. Chad's passion for excellence is contagious. His influence and methodologies are invaluable assets to any organization.

Kary Oberbrunner, CEO Blockchain Life

Chad is someone that I deeply admire. His commitment to making a difference in people’s lives coupled with his passion and discipline is incredibly motivating to be around. He’s someone I trust implicitly and can always turn to for guidance and support.

Brett Kaufman, CEO Gravity

If I hadn't been part of it myself, I would not have believed how Chad transformed his entire company into a rock-solid team of leaders who would run through walls for each other. I worked with Chad for 2 years and watched his team build trust and grow Anyone who was part of it will tell you, Chad is like no other coach, and Built to Lead is like no other leadership program.
