Chad Repaal

Chad came to us via a skateboard ramp. Well, kind of. He grew up building them, working alongside his dad, who owned an early-American wood craft business. This led to a progression through the trades: first finish carpentry, then blacksmithing, then historic restoration, and finally – a bit of a leap – to the world of CNCs. Beginning with laser and water jets, he taught CNC operation at a maker space in Wilmington.

With his facility in woodworking, experience with CNC tools, and an interest in teaching, Chad is a welcome addition to the CP family.
