Chad, what prompted you to join the Healthy Acadia team?
With all the suffering I have seen in society, I really want to give back what I have learned through my own struggles and by doing that, if I can reach out and help just one person, it will make everything worthwhile.
What most inspires you about Healthy Acadia's work?
All of the resources and the platform with which a strong and confident team supports one another here.
What most inspires you on a personal level?
The ability to climb the corporate ladder.
What is your favorite thing to do, or place to be, in Maine, and why?
I love to camp and watch the stars. It makes me feel just how small I am and keeps me centered. I like to camp at Moosehead Lake.
My bucket list involves the ability to travel to all 50 states in 2 months. I would like to see everything in the U.S. that there is to see. I have wanted to do this ever since I was little. I love to travel and site see.
Chad resides in Searsmont.
