Chad received the Alumni of the Year Award from the Active Chapter in 2007 and was inducted into the Torchbearer Society, the Alumni Chapter's Highest Honor, at the April 2010 House Dedication. While pursuing his Juris Doctorate from the Nashville School of Law, Chad met his beautiful and very supportive wife, Lauren.
