This specialization began while in acupuncture school as Southwest Acupuncture College, by starting an intense apprenticeship with Whitfield Reaves, which has entailed completing his apprenticeship program, helping him write his book (The Acupuncture Handbook of Sports Injuries and Pain), and assisting him while teaching nearly every class he taught for the next 7 years.

Over the last 9 years Chad has taught at Southwest Acupuncture College, WON Institute, and Tristate College of Acupuncture, classes include; sports acupuncture, physical assessment, clinical mentorship, and palpation.  He has also taught continuing education classes on orthopedic and sports injuries.
