1. Chad Schaeffer Business is about relationships so I look forward to getting to know you, here is a little about me.
2. My sun rises and sets with my unbelievable family. I love being a father to my three wonderful children and husband to my beautiful wife Staci. Best parenting advice I ever received, “Be a great husband, and your kids will learn all they need to know about life.”
3. Drew, Sophia Rose, & Isaac will be turning 6, 3 & 1 in 2011. When people ask who I report too, it’s notmy boss or even my wife, its Sophia. Isaac has bright blue eyes and a smile that lights up a room. Drew enjoys family dance parties where he wonders why the Schaeffer’s weren’t blessed with more rhythm!
4. There is definitely a soundtrack to my life. Not a day goes by I don’t listen to music. Stevie Wonder is the best singer of all time. Michael Jackson best performer. Jack White my favorite guitar player. Black Keys best new band. Jay Z king of hip hop. Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones are on the must have on a deserted island list.
5. v I probably see 50-60 movies a year so its hard picking a top 10 list. Because I love music so much, Almost Famous is on the list. You have to like Braveheart as a guy, who doesn’t want to be the hero, Usual Suspects best movie ending ever. Slumdog Millionaire most creative. Shawshank is about hope, American History X shows people can change, GoodFellas is just quotable.
6. v Growing up going to the Big House is one of my favorite childhood memories. I’ve had a ridiculous obsession with the Wolverines every since. I’ve been fortunate to see a few OSU vs UM games, went to 3 bowl games including the Rose Bowl and suffered through this horrendous losing streak in the middle of Buckeye country.
7. v I’ve been fortunate to work w/clients in Ireland, UK, Germany, Finland & France. I enjoy traveling. I spent 18 months working w/British Airways in London. Had so many fun memories there including celebrating my first anniversary w/Staci. My guilty pleasure is baking in the sun in South Beach. Hawaii is paradise, Chicago is my favorite city and our family vacation spot is in northern Michigan.
