Chad Robert Peterson: Born and raised in Colorado I attended CU Boulder for college where I studied Journalism and Sports Media. I wrote for the Sports Section of the CU Independent newspaper. I have been passionate about music since my freshman year of college when I discovered Led Zeppelin and the Grateful Dead soon after. Recently I have been listening to Black Country, New Road and King Gizzard and the Lizzard Wizard. I love being in the mountains, especially Rocky Mountain National Park. I love to climb and fish and can usually be found around Mount Blue Sky on my days off.
