Chad at a glance
Mr. Neace originally hails from Ohio. He attended high school and college in Tennessee, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in theatre from University of Tennessee. He has been involved in performance and technical aspects of theatre from a young age – acting, singing, and operating technical equipment for plays, musicals, and operas. He has been a member of the Screen Actors Guild since 2011. After a rigorous application, interview, and qualification process with members of the Santa Monica arts community, in 2014, Chad was approved for an artist work/live space. He currently is on the Belmar Artist Committee.
One of Chad's best quality is persistence. He is committed to growing in his artistry and will take on his projects with the same dedication no matter the budget.
Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
