Chad is the founder of La Porte Capital, a private money lending firm based in the Houston/La Porte, Texas area.

With a background in upstream oil & gas measurement engineering and a knack for entrepreneurship, he brings a unique mix of precision, innovation, and vision to private lending.

Beyond financing deals, Chad has built multiple ventures—including real estate investing, wholesaling, and IronBird Aerial, a drone services company that supports both real estate and oil & gas inspections.

His ability to blend finance with field-service solutions sets him apart as a partner who understands both numbers and on-the-ground execution.

Motivated by freedom and location independence, Chad has designed his businesses to let him work from anywhere, giving him more of what he values most: time with his wife, kids, and granddaughters.

Whether he’s playing guitar for his family or catching a game on the weekend, his “why” always comes back to creating a life built on growth, flexibility, and meaningful relationships.
