Meet Chad
I’m Chad, founder of Adventure Explore and Soar. I’ve lived in Sedona for over 23 years, drawn here by its stunning landscape and deep metaphysical energy. My journey began in college when I started exploring spiritual ideas, which eventually led me to Sedona — and I never looked back.
Since 2005, I’ve guided thousands of tours across Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, and more. I’ve worked with top tour companies and studied with geologists, medicine people, native historians, astronomers and storytellers. Every tour I give blends science, spirit, and storytelling. It’s an honor to share what I’ve learned.
I’m passionate about life, movement, music, and creativity. I swim, hike, dance, play instruments, and teach music theory and improv acting. I also co-founded Star Heart Creative Co-op, a space for healing, learning, and artistic expression — another dream come true.
Sedona continues to inspire me, and I love helping others connect with its energy, beauty, and timeless stories.
Why I Guide
My mission is to give every guest an unforgettable Sedona experience — one that inspires connection, curiosity, and a genuine love for this land. Every tour is personally guided by me, ensuring the passion, knowledge, and care that only an owner‑operator can bring. I explore the hidden paths, share the stories and mysteries people come from all over the world to discover, and make sure each tour feels meaningful, authentic and truly unique.
I’m grateful to the many teachers, guides, and storytellers who’ve shaped my understanding of Sedona and inspired the work I do today.
