Overseeing aviation planning and design services for our Nashville, Tennessee office, Chad helps airport improvement projects of all sizes take flight. He has dedicated the last 19 years of his career to airport development, performing all aspects of airport design, construction administration, and project management.

Chad’s experience includes designing runway, taxiway, and apron improvements, jet A and low-lead fuel systems, access roads, navigation aids, maintenance and T-buildings, airfield lighting, and more. Among his top accomplishments is the design and construction of the Hancock County Airport in Lewisport, Kentucky. This project transformed the blank canvas of a farm field to a new state-of-the-art airport. Bringing aviation back to a community that had been without an airport for over 10 years was a source of pride for Chad.

While away from work, Chad enjoys fishing, golf, and spending time with his wife and two boys. His future will include a year of travel to experience places he’s heard of but never been.
