Chad has been training in Taekwondo since the age of 6. At nine years old, he earned his first blackbelt. Through the years, Chad has participated in several major tournaments and frequently placed within the top three finalist positions. When Chad reached high school, he went on hiatus from martial arts training in order to explore other activities. After high school, Chad realized he wanted to find a career in fitness and health. After running into high school friend Andrew Crescenzo (head instructor of the Springfield location), Chad rediscovered his one true niche. He began to train with Mr. Crescenzo several times a week, and then later continued to teaching classes and organizing events. After several years of teaching experience, Chad is now the owner and head instructor of USA Karate & Fitness of Hamilton, NJ. Chad is extremely grateful for what martial arts has done for him and how it has done nothing but affect his life is the most positive of ways. As a result, he has devoted his life to giving back to his students and teaching them the lessons that martial arts has to offer including self-discovery.
