Chad began modeling about four years ago; I got into it a little then took a break for a while. Now just seemed like a good time, I have been contemplating getting back into it, and I am so glad I did.” His career has consisted of “working with some really talented photographers, traveling to different cities and meeting some pretty cool people. I haven’t done anything major yet, but the pieces are fitting together.”
To Chad, being a successful model means “having good contacts and being consistent with taking care of your body, always being respectful and having class.” When it comes to rejection, “I know people are so picky in this industry. Everybody has different tastes, so one client may not be into my look while another one will love it, I just have to hold my head up and be persistent.” He is excited to be a part of this site because “it’s nice to have a genuine support system. There are a lot of fake people and perverts out there, On Display Men is the real deal and I trust Alan has my best interests and my goals in mind.”

Chad’s life goals are “to be successful at anything I do, have a happy love-filled life and be a good husband and have some kids. Being a dad is important to me; I know I will be great at it.” When it comes to achieving these goals, “I have always had the mind set where I feel like the sky is the limit. I have had to work for everything I own, so naturally setting a goal and achieving it is never out of reach.” He is inspired by “being better that those before me and knowing that life is too short and you never know what’s around the corner, so live life to the fullest.” His friends would say that he is “funny, athletic, caring and disciplined.”

Chad stays in shape at work. “I’m a personal trainer, I have always been in athletic shape and I work out five times a week. The key to my shape is lifting weights, doing cardio, staying active, and to never stop moving.” He is also an all-around athlete. “I played semi pro soccer and I still play in competitive leagues. I also play tennis and golf and I snowboard and wakeboard a lot. I’m pretty much just an adrenaline junkie.”
