Chad, a ninth grader at Laguna Blanca in Santa Barbara, CA, has been fascinated by the ocean ever since his first experience in the water when he was just a few days old. Often described as an intelligent, hard worker who is not afraid to face difficult challenges, Chad will be a valued member of the Expedition team.

 

For the past six years, Chad has worked as a California State Junior Lifeguard, which gives him the opportunity to work outdoors and, best of all, be close to the ocean.
