You can catch Chad daily- with the fabulously fun Mary-Katherine Maddox- from 6a-10am CST Monday through Friday on WBKR. In addition to flapping his lips on the air, Chad emcees a variety of events all over Kentucky- charity functions, concerts, the monthly Rooster Booster Breakfast for the Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce, dance/cheer competitions and more. He's a big fan of ALL kinds of music ranging from Eric Church to the Jonas Brothers to Orville Peck to Kelly Clarkson (the goddess) to Luke Combs, Beyonce and more. And, he FREAKING LOVES THE 80s. Chad enjoys traveling the world, playing tennis, riding bikes, and spending time at home with his husband Kevin, two rescued Bichon Frises (Ellie and Yogi) and a rescued Cairn Terrier mix named Simon.
