Chad Mclean

Chad was born and raised in Billings, MT. He was always a happy-go-lucky kid who was the life of the party. Chad was raised by a single mom who worked extremely hard to make ends meet and to raise 3 responsible children. Chad wanted a different way and he heard the military was a way to pave the path to a better future. Immediately after high school, he enlisted in the Army and he joined as an 11Bravo. During basic training, Chad was offered an airborne slot and during airborne school met up with the 75th Ranger Regiment liaison. At the time Chad had idea that he would graduate and be guided through RIP (Ranger Indoctrination Program) by one of the most famous Rangers of all time, Sgt. Jeff Struecker. Chad was stationed at 2nd Ranger Battalion and the 24th Infantry Division, Fort Lewis, WA. where he was part of the Weapons Platoon. Some of his favorite weapon systems were the Gustaf, Barret 50 Cal. and he was one of the 1st “classes” that was certified on the Javelin. Chad came out as a changed man… just t the changed man he expected. Being put right back into civilian life like he never left and unprepared for the challenges that faced him was t what he had imagined. He looked at the world entirely different. He was longer the happy-go-lucky kid. He was anxious, angry, and confused. He could longer drive down the street, go to the movies, or sit in a restaurant without being on edge. He was always on high alert and “peaked out.” He sought therapy on his own but never found the right fit and it didn’t seem like anyone understood him. It wasn’t until 20 years later that his then girlfriend, w wife introduced him to TRE (Trauma Release Exercises). Chad was extremely skeptical about it all but gave it shot. Four years after being introduced to TRE, he decided to become a certified provider to help others. He has finally found his passion and mission in life. Although TRE is a useful tool for literally everyone, his main focus is to work with active duty, veterans, and first responders. As mentioned, Chad was born and raised in a tight-knit Montana community, where your reputation meant everything. He made sure to bring that mentality with him to sunny Arizona, the place he has called home for the past 15 years. Chad was lucky eugh to find someone that could put up with his childhood antics and love him for who he is. He can say without a doubt that he married his best friend and he wouldn’t be where he is today without her. They have 2 little boys, Cor and Colin, who have made him want to be an even better man. Chad is a graduate of Arizona State University and is a huge Sun Devils fan. He is a huge sports fan in general and has been a die-hard Chicago Bears fan since the young age of 7. All in all, he strives to provide massive value to others and will treat you the way he would expect to be treated- with loyalty, honesty, and respect.
