Chad Rood was born on a dark and foggy morning in the middle of July to George and Dianne Rood. He was born in Saginaw, a town of 100,000, and lived there most of his childhood life. His childhood was where he became obsessed with Michigan Wolverine football and the Detroit Tigers. He was rarely seen without a Michigan hat or shirt on. In his childhood, he played football, basketball, and baseball and claims he excelled at everything. He moved to Odessa when he was 13. His childhood heroes were Jim Harbaugh (a Michigan quarterback) and Rod Careu (Major Leaguer) He also claims fame to being a fashion icon in middle school and high school by wearing mid-length colored socks that matched the polo shirt he wore that day. |

He remained there for four years before transferring to the University of Texas-Permian Basin (UTPB) where he played semi-pro football on the side. During this transfer he changed majors from pre-med to mass communications. He said," It took me seven years to graduate, but those seven years were the greatest years of my life. He recently just earned a masters degree from Sam Houston State. | ||||
