Chad's winding journey to Islam began with dabbling world religions and avoiding Islam because of bias toward the faith. A chance encounter with an elementary school chum - a Muslim - at a bank and that started his journey. He began by trying to prove the faith wrong. The effort backfired when he fell in love with the balance and concrete nature of the faith. In 2019, he fasted in Ramadan and he took his initial Shahada in 2020 and as he started taking his faith more serious, his life improved and the lifelong journey to get closer to his Creator continues on.
