Chad Resler is a former production manager for a firetruck manufacturer, metal worker and now is a business owner doing rough landscaping, light terra-forming and construction prep. Today we talk about his growing up in central and northern California. Meeting his wife and starting a family very young with no family support while living in some rough neighborhoods. His ultimate home audio system and vinyl obsession. Starting his career as a production manager and metal worker and the pitfalls of California government contracts. Having a heart attack at the age of 36 with no insurance. Losing his house and everything during the 2008 housing crash and starting over. Finding out he has a genetic kidney disease and dealing with COVID. Night fishing in a snow storm for trophy brown trout, his love of wild life photography, twerking in nature (no that's not a typo) and his recent 7000 mile, 45 day RV trip with his wife through the rocky mountains.
Chad has been around the block a time or two, been dealt a few bad hands but somehow manages to keep smiling, pushing on working his butt off and making the most out of life.
