Chad was born on June 30, 1954, to C.W. and Nerissa (Romine) Anderson in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Chad was raised in Midland and graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in Sociology. While attending Tech, he met his wife, Kathy McCutchen Anderson, and they were married in 1973. During his college years, Chad worked as a policeman to put himself through school.
In 1979, the couple moved to the Brownwood area where they pursued ranching as a vocation. Chad loved the ranching lifestyle and continued to run livestock for 42 years until his illness. Chad also had another calling; he earned a second degree from Liberty University in Theology and was a minister to several rural churches in the area. After his ministry, Chad was a member, deacon, and Sunday School teacher at Calvary Baptist Church. He was a 32nd degree Mason and belonged to the Goldthwaite and Mullin lodges.
