Chad Nicol
Residence Facilities Director
Chad Nicol grew up in a small town in Utah, where his father taught him the values of hard work, problem-solving, and logical thinking. He began working at the age of ten with his own lawn mowing business and later gained experience across many fields including construction, transportation and logistics, and hospitality. In 2015, Chad found his passion for Facilities Management while working at Thanksgiving Point Institute in Utah.
After marrying his wife Misty in 2019, the couple was inspired by an episode of “House Hunters” to relocate to East Tennessee. Chad joined IRH Pigeon Forge as a maintenance technician and quickly advanced to IRH Residence Facilities Director, contributing to the openings of the Pigeon Forge, Branson West, and Foley locations.
Chad enjoys spending time with his wife and their four grown children in his free time. He is passionate about home improvement and woodworking, often tackling projects himself. Whether on the golf course or riding his motorcycle through the backroads, Chad’s friendly nature ensures he’s always making new friends.
