Chad Stoecker

Welcome Chad!

Fresh from the east coast, Chad is settling in naturally with the relaxed lifestyle that the west coast offers, especially here in the pacific northwest. Don’t get it twisted though– he approaches challenges head on with aggressive strategies to drive results. He takes his work like he takes his coffee, straight up with no fuss.

The team asked, Chad answered.

 

When you’re not at work, what’s your favorite way to spend your time?

I enjoy going to the movies, concerts, reading, and volunteering

If you could have an unlimited supply of one thing, what would it be and why?

Airline miles, since all of my family lives in Pennsylvania

Both sets of grandparents I had left an indelible mark on me

How do you proceed when there’s no right answer?

Ask people who know more than I do, or who have experience in that area
