What can I say, Chad is the Homie from b from the first time we met at Barkes Gym, he has been nothing but supportive of me and my bodybuilding career. So it was only natural for me to have him on the show when the time came; and has it come. Chad is only a few weeks out now from the INDY PRO show host by Dave Bowers. This interview is a must watch/listen from this man of God. Best of Luck Chad on May 8th.
