About Chad

After studying photography at Webster University in St. Louis, I traveled, worked for a failed dot com, sold cameras in New Orleans and earned an MFA in Film from Columbia University.

Following grad school I relocated to Minneapolis where I founded a one-man-band style video production company and also work in digital marketing and content strategy.

My photography has been exhibited in New York City, Minneapolis and in a solo show in St. Louis entitled new york is a friendly town. My photography has been published in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Riverfront Times and Shots Magazine.

A couple of my short films have screened at film festivals around the world and I’ve written some screenplays that people have liked.
