This review is definitely long over-due! We refinanced with Chad about a year and a half ago September. We had lived in our current house for about a 1 1/2 years prior to that and took advantage of the lower rates at the time. Chad was able to negotiate almost a 1% drop in our interest rate on our refinance, which was already fairly low and locked in a nearly rock-bottom rate - and saved us about $200 monthly. This was my first time working with Chad, but my third time going through the underwriting process. So I knew what I was getting into, and wasn't exactly looking forward to the underwriting process. I am a bit of a numbers freak, and Chad can attest to that. Whenever issues arose or a changes were made on the paperwork, I would run through the updates with Chad. He never hesitated to respond, never seemed annoyed with my incessant questions as we neared close, and was always forthright with me throughout the entire process. Because he was always willing to listen and respond quickly, we were always put at ease. The underwriting process is not a walk in the park by any means, but Chad was always willing to step in and take initiative to address concerns or fix any issues, and that is what impressed me the most with Chad. We couldn't have been happier with the outcome!

Chad was a great asset to StorageCraft. He was very proactive and easy to work with. I would definitely hire him if we had an opening at StorageCraft. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about him.

Jun 2012 - Dec 2015
As a Client Success Manager/HR Generalist for this Professional Employer Organization (PEO) I was the main point of contact responsible for the success for over fifty SMB clients in maximizing RMI's HR, payroll, and benefit management services. As part of my duties I onboarded clients companies to our custom HRIS software, trained on processes and procedures within the software, fostered relationships with client company leadership, and provided outstanding client service to ensure retention. RMI's clients stretched across multiple industries nationwide allowing me to gain expertise and experience in the software, healthcare, and manufacturing industries and across multiple states. In addition, I managed the execution of all employee recruiting, onboarding, employee counseling/discipline, compensation, employment leaves, terminations/offboarding, and federal/state employment compliance. While with RMI I was able to innovate and streamline new hire tracking and employment leave processes and provide continual ideas for improvement and implementation. Show less
