About Chad
- I was raised by a single mother and learned early on that I had to work for anything I wanted.
- I started mowing lawns to earn money and then learned to manage others mowing lawns for me.
- That lawn mowing business eventually grew into a landscape construction company.
- I learned about Bitcoin from my youngest son and started mining with him shortly after.
- I quickly realized that Bitcoin was about infrastructure, power, scalability, and systems and procedures—things that I had centered my career around previously.
- We moved from New Orleans, Louisiana, to Texas with the goal of developing a large-scale data center—in doing so, we realized we were helping to repair and reenergize the town’s industry.
- Riot Blockchain acquired Whinstone, the data center, effectively bolstering our development as we built it into the largest Bitcoin mining facility in North America.
