Chad Willard : Teacher & Coach

My name is Chad Willard. I originally am from Collinsville, OK, and graduated in 2001. From there I went to college on a wrestling scholarship to McKendree University and graduated in 2006. Afterward I stayed on and coached wrestling at the university for 7 years, as well as taught at the local elementary school. During this time I met my lovely wife Chrissy, got married in 2010 and had a daughter named Alivia. I decided at that time I didn't want the college coaching life anymore and was ready to come closer to home and slow down a little and have more time for my family. In 2013 I started my time here at Claremore and have enjoyed every minute, and look forward to many more years.
