"My name is Chad, Chadwick for short! I'm 24 years old, married to my wonderful wife Elyse, and the non-biological father of three slightly insane dogs. Metal is an essential part of my diet, and I take it in forms from near indiscernible brutal death metal to ambient post-hardcore with a good ol' indie vibe to it. I highly enjoy writing, gaming, bowling (or sucking horrendously at bowling) and I fancy myself as a plentiful purveyor of pizza! I have two bachelor's degrees in History and Communications, and I'm currently working on a master's in Theology." Favorite Bands:
