Biography

Chad grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland, the son of Seymour and Cuban-born Perla Chad. Chad attended Northwood High School before graduating from the University of Maryland, College Park in 1981.[3]

Since 2003, Chad has appeared on most of ESPN's poker broadcasts, including the World Series of Poker and The United States Poker Championship, among other events.[citation needed] For 12 years, Chad made NFL predictions against the spread in his syndicated column; Chad picked the winners merely by flipping a coin, and most years ended up with a winning record.[4][time needed]

Chad married his college girlfriend in 1981, divorcing in 1986. He was married to his second wife for less than a year.[3] In 2007, Chad married for the third time.[5]
