Chad Collins

Originally from East Tennessee, Chad landed in Charleston with the United States Coast Guard and decided to stick around with his wife and two kids after retiring.

Why does he run? "To maintain fitness to ward off old age and decrepitness." We hear you Chad! Several of us are right there with you!

Hobbies outside of Fleet Feet? "Hmmmm…. If cooking and being a handyman are hobbies, then that's my answer!"

Finding the perfect shoe for a customer is what Chad loves about working at Fleet Feet.

Fun Facts about Chad... he served 20 years in the United States Coast Guard, retiring October 2025. He and his wife are boaters so they spend plenty of warm weekends on the lake. They love frequenting fave breweries and trying new restaurants in and around the area and are always down for a good concert. Oh, and he is obsessed with cars.

Needless to say, you won't be disappointed to get to know Chad as he assists you when you stop in at our Carnes Crossroads or Summerville location.
