Bio
Todd Schluechtermann
Chad was a great leader and mentor for the 5 years he was my manager at Ascedia. I was impressed with Chad’s ability to take a very active role in nurturing many young developers and inspiring experienced developers to become leaders for their teams. On top of that Chad also helped to bring a fun and comfortable work environment through organizing after work events. This was all especially impressive because Chad achieved this working remotely. Chad would be a true asset for any position requiring strong company leadership skills and mentorship.

Chad's passion and drive is evident in everything he does, whether its determining the ideal technical solution, building a collaborative team, or making work fun. He has a huge impact on company culture, which is even more impressive as a remote team member. He adds levity and a sense of humor when times are tough, and goes above and beyond to make every project a success. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to work with Chad and learn from him!

Part of a large team working together to organize running events in New York City. Responsibilities vary from race to race but may include: pre-race supply delivery & setup; setup & takedown of start, finish, and festival area; crowd management; bib pickup; bag check; overall runner support. In this role, it's important to be knowledgeable of the logistics surrounding each event which will vary depending on the location and distance of the race. I quickly proved to be a valuable part of the team with my strong work ethic, preparedness, and positivity.
