"Chad in particular put in huge hours and was a true partner in bringing this site together. Besides having outstanding technical chops and enormous tenacity, he was the source of many of the best ideas for reworking the site, from the neat way we treat the bios, down to the (much tidier than what we'd planned) name for the 'Stage/Screen' category. Needless to say, if you're looking for a fantastic web developer....)" April 14, 2009

"Chad and I worked together at O'Reilly's Missing Manual series for an all-too-brief 2 years. Chad's an amazingly resourceful, highly self-motivated, jack-of-all digital tools guy. From Facebook to Twitter, from Movable Type to klugy homegrown content management tools, there was no tool that Chad couldn't master in short order. He also demonstrated considerable acumen in navigating the human elements behind the systems he worked on. Chad was an incredibly productive member of the Missing Manual team and I can recommend him highly and without reservation." January 18, 2009

"Chad is an incredibly bright guy who can look at a situation and solve problems with both people and technology. In the pre-startup days at Eons, he saw a need for a content management system, figured out how to build one by adapting blogging software, and put in long hours to make it happen by launch. Far from being just a techie, though, he's got a solid understanding of Web content, and I frequently relied on his ability to analyze situations and get the job done. I recommend him highly and would go out of my way to work with him again." February 16, 2007

"Chad is great to work with and has an amazing array of skills and interests that ensure innovative solutions for any problem or new project. He is always willing to "dive in" to a project and work to find a solution that fits both the technology and people needs. His ability to discuss and think through the project are key to getting the right solutions built and put into production. Chad also works hard to automate systems and work as much as possible to keep sites updated and editable with minimal effort from non-technical people. I miss working with Chad!" August 17, 2007
