About the Speaker

After managing several business ventures in different industries over his life, Chad began working in the federal benefits space over 30 years ago. Since then, he has founded Gateway Financial, Gateway Insurance, and the Federal Benefits Advisory Group to help serve those who served us for so long. Noticing that many federal employees still need to receive the full benefits made available to them, Chad set out to improve the lives of those around him through his financial expertise and solutions made available through Gradient Investments. Since devoting his career to helping others Chad has become a reputable name and trusted advisor for those entering retirement. 

Beyond helping others secure their financial futures, Chad has continually served his community just as long. His community and civic work includes a 30+ year relationship with various non-profits and volunteering within community organizations in many different capacities. Chad also enjoys spending time with his wife, Kay, and their 5 children. As a family, they enjoy outdoor hobbies such as fishing, hunting, riding snowmobiles, and boating.
