Chad Chapman
Owner
Chad is the owner of California Art Delivery, bringing years of diverse experience to the fine art logistics industry. His professional journey began with various roles, including work as a merchandiser and delivery driver for Pepsi, and serving in the Army as a combat medic, including a deployment to Iraq in 2005. After his military service, Chad attended the University of Denver, where he earned a degree in management from the Daniels College of Business. During this time, he also launched his career in real estate investment, a field he successfully pursued for over 15 years. Along the way, Chad explored several home-based businesses and startup ventures, blending his entrepreneurial spirit with hands-on experience.
In addition to his professional accomplishments, Chad has a passion for mentoring and coaching youth sports. He coached a youth basketball team to win several first-place tournaments and coached a youth athlete to win a national championship in wrestling—experiences that reflect his dedication to helping young athletes grow and succeed.
In 2023, Chad partnered with the business’s previous owner, Lance Thompson, and by early 2024, he had fully transitioned to sole ownership of the company and rebranded it as California Art Delivery. Today, Chad takes pride in providing personalized, white-glove delivery services to clients across California, with hubs in both Silicon Valley and Los Angeles.
When not at work, Chad enjoys an active lifestyle that includes mountain biking, rollerblading, yoga, weightlifting, basketball, and exploring the outdoors through hiking, kayaking, and camping.
