Meet Chad:

Chad played 11 years for the Minnesota Vikings after finishing an All-American career at the University of lowa. Growing up on a family farm in South Dakota, Chad learned the valuable lesson that hard work, perseverance and dedication to a craft can bring success.

Rising from a small town of 350 people to becoming an 11-year professional football player, team captain, and 4-time Walter Payton Man of the Year award nominee taught valuable lessons in prioritizing team success. Chad will share his tools and the mindset it takes to get to the highest level of achievement in a sport and the against-all-odds story of determination.

Along with his playing career, Chad ran and continues to run a successful nonprofit called Lead the Way Foundation as well as his business Gray Duck Spirits.
