Salutations,
My name is Chad Seaver and I was born in Downtown Brooklyn and I currently reside in Sheepshead Bay. My parents have two completely different backgrounds, with my mother being Chinese and my father being Spanish and Irish. It’s an awesome mix and I embrace both sides. My parents are my rock and they have always been there for me. During bad times and good times, they have given me unconditional love and support from the get go.
Ever since I was a kid, I have always had a passion for planes and anything in the field of aeronautics. During the past 50 years, there has been an ineffable progress in aviation and I can’t fathom what the next 50 years have in store. I initially wanted to follow in my father’s footsteps by flying at 16 and joining the Air Force, but my parents wanted me to go into a different direction. As shown in my slideshow, my father flew the Cessna at 16 and the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom during his service in the Air Force.
Anyone that knows me knows about my love for the games of baseball and tennis. I first picked up a baseball when I was 5 and I was hooked. As a pitcher, I played in-house baseball for 8 years and travel baseball for 6 summers. For tennis, I played for four years on my high school team, Leon M. Goldstein, and we were one win away from reaching the Mayor’s Cup during my senior year. Due to my passion for both sports, I am going to have a tough decision to make in the spring, which is when both baseball and tennis are played at Baruch.
One of my hobbies is collecting sports memorabilia and I have been collecting since I was 7. Rather than just purchasing memorabilia, my father and I prefer to attend athletes’ signings in Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island, New York. Some of the athletes we have met are Tom Seaver, Magic Johnson, Eli Manning, and Hank Aaron. Elite athletes such as them motivate me to strive for greatness in not just sports,but in anything I do in life.
In addition, Sting is my favorite artist and I like fast cars.
