In the summer of 2022, we were fortunate to sit down with Chad for over an hour as a guest on the Basketball Manitoba Podcast. In the episode, he details his journey through basketball and where it has taken him from Winnipeg to around the world. We remember him for his infectious attitude towards life and for being an amazing ambassador for Manitoba and Canada.
