Bio
Lisa Downing
Chad Dalton is one of the most talented people I've ever worked with. He can review, revise and create systems to gain efficiencies and streamline processes. He is an excellent trainer as well. He would be an asset to anyone he works for or with.
Catherine Maxwell
Chad was a joy to work with and manage. He was already highly skilled and proficient in all of his duties, but he ended up being my right hand very quickly. I could always count on Chad to step up and take on any project the team had whether within his area or not. I saw him progress from a technical expert to a very successful and collaborative leader. I would work with Chad again anytime.
