Our Mission

Chad is an Arizona native with a background in small business ownership, franchise development along with an extensive history in real estate development and land acquisition. Chad currently owns a real estate brokerage called “Nanke Realty”.
But Chad’s true passion is to come along side rural school districts and help in the development of volunteers and donors working together to accomplish projects on public school property that otherwise become neglected due to limited school district funding.
