It was also during his college career, that Chad enlisted in the National Guard where he served his country proudly earning the rank of E4 of Company E 2nd Battalion, 135th Infantry Red Bulls. During his time in the military, Chad was able to travel to Norway and also Germany before receiving his honorable discharge.
After attending college in Minot, Chad met Kandice Rosenberg in the summer of 1995. One year later, on July 27, 1996, the couple would be married at Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Ceylon, Minn. Following their marriage, Chad and Kandice made their home in Milaca, Minn., where Chad worked for two years, one in a boy’s home and one for the Benson County Prison.
After moving back to Fairmont in the summer of 1998, Chad began his employment with the Martin County Sheriff’s Department, where he worked as a jailer and also returned to school to earn his Peace Officers License in Alexandria, Minn. In 2000, Chad was hired as a Sheriff Deputy for Martin County where he worked until his passing.

Chad had a passion for sports and loved watching his kids, Hannah and Kaleb, participate in events and cheered them on loudly as he supported them and all Fairmont High School teams. Through 4-H, Hannah and Kaleb started showing rabbits which lead to another hobby for Chad and the kids and he cherished the many memories made with them.
In his spare time, Chad enjoyed sitting down for a game of poker with his friends and if there wasn’t a game going on he would play online with fake money, making sure to announce his “winnings” when he won big. He was a great researcher on the internet and when something needed “looked into,” Chad was up for the task normally finding the best deals and figuring out many diagnoses.
A special time for the family was their yearly trip to Woodland Resort near Walker, Minn., where they would go as a family to relax and enjoy time together.
