Chad

Nickname: WaWa Man

“Recovery gave me my life back. Running- this simple act of steadily moving forward- gave it meaning.”

Chad is our resident gear guru, Garmin whisperer, and undisputed king of competitive chaos—especially when food is on the line. If there’s a piece of running tech on the market, he’s reviewed it. If your Garmin is doing something weird, he’s already made a tutorial about it. And if someone says the word “race,” Chad is laced up and ready before they finish the sentence.

He’s famous in the crew for his motto: “Will run for food.” And he means it. This man once ran from one Wawa to another across the entire state of New Jersey. The legend goes that each stop was tragically out of hot dogs… so naturally, he fueled up, shrugged, and ran to the next one. Some say he covered more miles in that search for a glizzy than most people do in marathon training.

Chad brings humor, hunger, and high-level competitive energy to every run—whether he’s chasing PRs, snacks, or both at the same time.
