Introduction Video
TV Appearances
Chad did a surprise appearance in the CBS show How I Met Your Mother, in the episode "I Heart NJ" (Season 4, Episode 4). He plays a (very scared) young man who is the replacement for Robin Scherbatsky as the news anchor. Maybe he was training to be a SeaJew.
OMG Fails
On April 18, 2010, Chad mistakenly deplaned in Denver, Colorado rather than staying on his plane to continue with Brian to Sacramento. The mistake was documented in two posts to Twitter.
During New Show Fails Weekly, which was broadcast from Greg Grunberg's home, Chad accidentally spilled soda on Greg's pool table. Greg was quite forgiving about it and even gave chad an autographed Heroes script. The autograph reads, "Chad- Thanks for soiling our pool table..." Greg's name was not visible in the photograph posted to TwitPic.
Move to TWiT
On Friday, March 18th, 2011, less than a week after Chad assisted with the live TWiT programming at Momo's in Austin for SXSW, Brian Brushwood confirmed via Twitter that Chad would be leaving his side and beginning a new chapter in his life working for TWiT. Chad will be an Associate Producer in charge of live events as of June 1, 2011. This announcement was immediately followed by tweets from Chatrealm wishing Chad good luck...and other people considering trying to follow in Chad's footsteps as Brian's next assistant.
From late 2011 to April 11, 2012, Chad served as director and editor to TWiT's Game On!
Starting August 2012, Chad began recording the OMGCraft Podcast.
