Hello. I'm Chadron (Chad to everyone but my dad), and I am the Worship and Creative Arts Pastor here at Christ Life Church. I am responsible for all aspects of music production and worship culture at Christ Life Church. I also oversee the creative lighting, video, and audio departments at Christ Life.

Basic Stuff:

Our family, my wife, Andrea, kids Joya and Zander, myself and the dog, Tigger, moved to Tempe, AZ to be a part of the ministry at Christ Life in May of 2009. Prior to moving 'across the country' I served 11+ years as music and arts pastor at Capital Community Church in the Washington D.C. area. I also taught middle school for eight years and I currently serve on the steering team for Heart of Worship Ministries (H.O.W.)  I grew up in Denver, CO and attended college there as well.

Birthday: June 28, 1974
