Meet Chad Michaeli

Born and bred in St. George, Chad Michaeli is a homeboy to his core. A graduate of Dixie High School (where he was a Flyers linebacker), Dixie State College and Southern Utah University with a Masters in Accounting, Chad is now an auditor with the accounting firm of Hafen, Buckner, Everett and Graff. While in high school, his career goal was to be a chef, but after an LDS mission to Australia, Chad decided to study accounting instead while also serving in the National Guard as a medic for more than a dozen years. After returning from his two years in Australia, he married the girl "who followed me home," but she passed away not long after they were married. He later married the former Debra Larson. When he’s not pouring over someone’s financial data, Chad particularly enjoys any and all time spent with his wife Debra and the couple’s four children - reading, camping, fishing or just being outdoors.

What attracted him to St. George Rotary Club? "Gerry talked me into it. He had nothing but good to say about the club and its members, and I wanted to get to know people and have a chance to hang out with someone other than a bunch of boring accountants!" Sponsored by Gerry Buckner, Chad’s classification is Auditor.
