About Chad
Three words: Chad knows television.
He has worked in front of the camera, behind the camera,
beside the camera… you get the picture.
Chad Carriere |
Before plugging into the WiRE, Chad hosted, co-produced and
co-edited two entertainment/news programs. They gave him the
chance to hang out with the legendary punk band Face to Face
and to interview the Vans Warped Tour Founder Kevin Lyman.
Chad's love of music also lead him to the 2004 MuchMusic
VJ Search. As one of the finalists, he got to find out what
it was like to be a host on the network. That included the
chance to interview one of the hottest bands out there: Sum
41. Chad also made a bit of history at Much. Well, IF you’re
a Britney Spears fan anyway. He was the first VJ to introduce
her then brand new video “Toxic”. (Now if he’ll
just stop singing the song…)
No stranger to the camera, Chad also acts and models in his
spare time and has been featured in national and international
commercials.
He has also directed, co-produced and co-edited a music video
for the Calgary rock band Atumz Eve.
Three more words: Chad loves television.
As for stuff that has nothing to do with TV, Chad loves to
play hockey, snowboard, maybe invent playing hockey on a snowboard,
music, fashion, having fun with family and friends and…
did we mention hockey?
Originally from Roblin, Manitoba, Chad moved to Calgary to
get a Television Diploma at the Southern Alberta Institute
of Technology. He went on to get a Bachelor of Communications
from the University of Calgary.
Three final words: watch the WiRE.
