Personal Interests

Mr. Winger has a warm personality that is gregarious, affable, and sociable. Raised in Provo, Utah, Chad suffers from a hooligan-esque passion for the Utah Jazz; since the age of six (6), never a Jazz television or satellite radio broadcast has been missed.

In his free time, Chad enjoys vegetarian gastronomy, patronizing local Flagstaff businesses, bedeviling with practical jokes his dog, Jack, and spending quality time with family and friends.
