Okay, so I stumbled upon this guy named Chad Leonard the other day, and let me tell you, it turned into a whole thing. I was initially looking up some sports stuff, and bam, there’s this name, Chad Leonard, popping up everywhere. Turns out, he’s the father of Riley Leonard, a quarterback from Notre Dame. That got me curious, so I started digging.
First thing I did was check out where this Chad guy came from. Turns out, he used to play basketball for The Citadel, some military college in South Carolina. I found some old records saying he played there from 1992 to 1995. Not a bad run, I guess. He was a guard, about 6’1″, which is pretty standard for a basketball player. He played under a coach named Pat Dennis, and from what I gathered, he was in about 79 games in total. That’s a decent amount of playing time.
I spent a good few hours just going through these old college basketball stats. It felt like traveling back in time. You know, imagining this Chad guy, young and full of energy, running around the court, shooting hoops. It’s kind of cool to think about the lives these people led before we even knew they existed. He was on the team for almost four seasons.
After getting my fill of his basketball days, I was like, “What’s this dude up to now?” So, I hit up LinkedIn, and guess what? This Chad Leonard guy is now a big shot at Deloitte. He’s an Advisory Senior Manager, all fancy and corporate, based in McLean, Virginia. It is a complete 180 from his basketball days, right? He’s got over 500 connections on LinkedIn, so he’s definitely made a name for himself in the business world.
Here’s a quick rundown of what I found:

It’s kind of amazing how people’s lives can take such different turns. One day you’re a college athlete, and the next, you’re a senior manager in a big-name company. It just goes to show you never really know where life will take you. I spent a whole afternoon just piecing together this guy’s life from bits and pieces online. It’s like being a detective, but for regular people’s lives. I thought it was a pretty interesting find, so I wanted to share it with you all. Hope you guys find it as fascinating as I did!
