The Story
Chad grew up in small-town Alabama with a screwdriver in one hand and a keyboard in the other. He launched his first technology business in early 2006, fixing neighbors' computers out of a small shop in Arab. Word spread — because Chad picked up the phone himself, because he didn't oversell, and because the work came back done right. Twenty years later, that same shop still runs on that same principle.
Today, Chad's work spans four active businesses and hundreds of local clients. He maintains ongoing IT contracts with businesses across Marshall County, hand-codes websites for clients from coast to coast, hosts them on his own servers, keeps them ranked with honest SEO, and runs a 24/7 Christian radio station on the side. When the servers sleep, he writes songs.
What Chad Does (and Doesn't)
Chad is an owner-operator in the truest sense. He doesn't outsource, doesn't franchise, and doesn't use a call center. Every phone call, every repair ticket, every line of code, every jingle recording — it's Chad. That's the whole pitch and the whole guarantee.
✔ What Chad Does
- Personally diagnoses and repairs every computer
- Hand-codes websites in HTML/CSS/PHP (no WordPress)
- Answers the phone directly
- Gives flat, transparent pricing up front
- Offers lifetime support on his repairs
- Runs on-premise servers he controls
✘ What Chad Doesn't Do
- Use WordPress, Wix, or page-builders
- Hide fees or upcharge after the fact
- Route calls to overseas support
- Sell you software you don't need
- Lock you into long contracts
- Leave jobs half-finished

Arab Computer Services · arabcomputerservices.com
The local-search-friendly face of the same operation. Same shop, same owner, same lifetime-support promise — just the name most locals type into Google when their laptop won't boot on a Saturday morning.
Pro Star Planet · prostarplanet.com
Chad's web design and hosting company. Every site is hand-coded — no WordPress, no page-builders, no plugin roulette. Services include custom websites, SEO and AI-content optimization, logos and branding, hosting with SSL, email setup, booking systems, customer portals, and radio spots and jingles. Web clients get two free daily ads on Pro Star Radio as a bonus.
Pro Star Radio · prostarradio.com
A 24/7 Christian internet radio station streaming hits, worship favorites, and positive music. Pro Star Radio also integrates Christian news headlines and local weather. It's where Chad's custom jingles and original compositions often air — and where his web clients' ad spots play daily.
Chad's Tools · chadstools.com
A growing armory of small, free web utilities Chad has built over the years — the kind of thing you bookmark and forget you have until you need it.
Music, Composing, and Jingles
Outside the server room, Chad is a songwriter and composer. He writes original songs, produces custom jingles for local businesses (many of which end up on rotation on Pro Star Radio), and records radio advertisements and audio spots for clients. If your shop needs a hooky thirty-second jingle that locals can't get out of their heads, that's a Chad specialty.
Photography and Video
Chad also shoots photography and edits video for web clients — the imagery on Pro Star Planet's client sites is almost always shot by Chad himself. It keeps the work consistent and the look his own.
