Chad Kropke

Beginning his long career in the events industry, Chad started by managing scenic and logistics for CSS, a large destination management company servicing Forbes 500 companies. In the early 90’s, Chad took to the road touring with the infamous Volcom/Warped Tour. For five years, Chad helped scores of artists entertain thousands of concertgoers in hundreds of cities worldwide. His organization, determination, and technical expertise were all honed to a sharp edge during this time. In 1998, Chad founded FNTECH with Jeremy Muir. Since then, he’s overseen the warehouse operations and equipment inventory for multiple locations and managed the teams who build, maintain, ship, inventory, and generally care for all the high-tech and high-touch gear that makes FNTECH tick. Chad has been a cornerstone in FNTECH’s success. With a myriad of top-tier clients, thousands of moving part and dozens of staffers, no moss grows in this man’s shade. When not overseeing work endeavors, you’ll likely find Chad enjoying the sun and sand in his favorite coastal town of Huntington Beach.
