Chad Zdenek

Chad lives a life of science, exploration, and experimentation. He has always loved the world of science but unlike most lab-bound scientists, Chad had another laboratory while growing up - and another set of subjects... You remember those science project kits you could buy at electronics stores or hobby stores? Well, Chad didn't need those - he had four younger siblings he could conduct real life experiments on! Everything from dry ice bombs to booby traps to 6 foot homemade rockets, Chad has done it all. As he wisened to the ways of the world, he realized you could play with much bigger experiments if you played by the rules. This led him to several different science and engineering labs at Loyola Marymount University and University of Southern California. It wasn't long after that he landed at the biggest labs in the country - Stennis Space Center in Mississippi and Kennedy Space Center in Florida! While there, Chad decided to develop a new Turbomachinery device which was not only used on the Space Shuttle Main Engines but also received numerous awards from Boeing and NASA. He is also one of the rare engineers who understands theory and practical application. This includes the blending of physics, chemistry, thermodynamics, and mathematics with the contextual understanding of how to manage entire projects. His General Contractor's License and Professional Engineers License then allowed him to oversee numerous structural engineering projects throughout Southern California.
