BIO
Born and raised in Wisconsin, Chad lives in a farmhouse with his wife, Katie. He is a proud veteran of the U.S. Army with multiple combat tours as a scout for the 101st Airborne Division and the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment. While listening to 59º North podcasts during my computer science undergraduate homework, Chad reached out to us for sailing-related programming ideas for a capstone project, and the tracking map evolved from that. He quickly realized this was a great way to work on projects involving spatiotemporal data during his graduate studies, as well as a chance to work with a team of professionals he admired. Chad joined FALKEN on the 2nd passage of 2024, sailing from Las Palmas to Mindelo, Cape Verde.
