Hello and Welcome.

Chad GramlingHi there. My name is Chad Gramling and this is...well, my website.

Welcome.

Since you're here, methinks that perhaps you want to know a little bit about m (if not, click here to get out now!).

Okay, now for a little self indulgence.

My life thus far:

  • Born in 1976.
  • Raised in Auburn, Indiana.
  • One brother, a mother and father who passed away in 2002.
  • Two cats: Inky and Sir Freward de'Calvin of Standrew.
  • A graduate of DeKalb High School in 1995.
  • Earned a BS in Corporate English and Communication from Tri-State University (now Trine University) in 1999.
  • Been a passionate advocate and participant of the Credit Union movement since 1999. Employed at 3Rivers.
  • Married Jennifer Quackenbush in 2001. She is now Jennifer Gramling despite my attempt to have us BOTH change our name to Quackling.
  • Three daughters: Daphne, Stella and Amelia.
  • Earned a MA in professional communication from Purdue University in 2004
  • Published a book in 2007 - Baseball in Fort Wayne (IN) (Images of Baseball)
  • I have attended St. Andrew EPC since 1995. Have been a short term missionary and serve as moderator of our Deacons. I am also the host site director for Angel Food Ministries.

Where (I think) my life is heading:

I don't have answers, nor do I prented to have them. What I do know is that eveyr day is a gift and a blessing from God. When my book was published in 2007, it represented the achievement of a dream I first dreamt in 1995. My family and the life I live is a whole different dream and one I work daily to preserve. Sometimes keeping the dream is harder than obtaining it! What tomorrow brings, I do not know. But as long as I can keep my field of vision wide open, so then is the rest of the world.
