Chad started shooting at Sudlersville Skeet Club after delivering firewood there at age 13. He was given 5 shells and went 5 straight. As time went on, Dick Kane contributed much to Chad’s early shooting, paying entry fees and overnight stays through his sub junior and junior career. Chads shooting took another step up when Chad began coveting PA shooter Robert Eukenalis’ world championship ring. Robert admonished Chad to “go get your own”. Four years later Chad won his 410 world championship.
