Meet Chad, the versatile powerhouse at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®. A member of our family since the early 2000s, he began his journey when we were just a small office in Burnsville. Over the years, Chad has worn many hats—from sales and operations to marketing (he even remembers the Yellow Pages!). Today, he proudly serves as the Director of Customer Experience.

Chad isn’t just about moving furniture; he’s passionate about creating meaningful connections and ensuring every customer has a fantastic experience. One memorable moment was when he braved a blizzard solo to help a senior citizen move, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to those in need.

Beyond his professional life, Chad is a devoted dad to three kids, one of whom has even joined the company. He loves whipping up delicious meals in the kitchen while listening to music, and he’s an avid collector of vinyl records. And let’s not overlook his signature look: a striking mohawk that perfectly contrasts with his charming gray hairs. So, if you’re looking for a mover with style and a heart of gold, just look for the guy with the epic hairdo—it’s definitely Chad!
