History[]
Chad got his start on YouTube when he decided to add his high school media class project to the site. The first YouTubers he watched on the site were vloggers such as Zipster08 and Charlieissocoollike. After a while, he started to make his own vlogs and content.
Personal Life[]
He was born in Austin, Texas, US. He is the middle child, having an older brother and younger sister. When he was in elementary school, he had a speech impediment where he would say 'R's as 'W's. He didn't know it at the time, but he had ADHD and was dyslexic. When starting middle school, he went to a private school that was only for dyslexic kids. When it was time to go to high school, Chad wanted to go back to public school. While in high school, he wanted to become an actor, but his school didn't offer classes for it so he took theater and some media classes the school offered. During his time being a YouTuber, Chad had a lot of jobs ranging from a summer camp staff member to a warehouse manager.
Through a mutual friend, he was able to become an intern with magician Brian Brushwood. He would go on to be a stage manager and to be his assistant from late-2009 to mid-2011. While working with Brian, Chad was able to apply for a company called Twit. He then moved from Austin, Texas to California. While working at Twit, he started out as an associate producer and is now producing some of the largest shows on the network.
