CHAD DRAKE - Owner

 

After growing up in Andover, Kansas, Chad earned his education at the University of Central Oklahoma, where he was also a member of four national championship wrestling teams. Following college, Chad enjoyed a twenty-plus year career as an executive and CEO of top-tier private country clubs and resorts throughout the Midwest and predominately in the Chicagoland area. The life successes that Chad experienced have always been derived from a strong work ethic, honest practices, and an acute attention to detail, which were all instilled in him at an early age. When Chad and his wife, Jenn, made the decision to relocate from Chicago to Bozeman, they brought with them their deep passion for hospitality. Chad instills this passion within The Drake Company to ensure the highest standards are met and long meaningful relationships are formed. When not working, Chad mostly enjoys spending time in the kitchen cleaning up after Jenn, who is a Private Chef and owner of Stoked Kitchen.
