Chad Martin | Executive Director

Chad brings over 30 years of experience in the nonprofit sector to his role as the first Executive Director of Chestnut Housing. In addition to executive leadership roles and board service for a variety of organizations, he has been a pastor, an art teacher, and the director of a multimillion dollar grant program to support the preservation of historic church buildings. Chad lives just outside the city on a six acre farm with his wife Jess and their two kids.

Megan Snell | Director of Resident Engagement

Prior to joining the team at Chestnut Housing, Megan worked as a Speech Pathologist for 20 years, primarily with patients experiencing the effects of stroke, head injury, and swallowing disorders. She stepped back from that profession in 2019 to explore other interests. For the past six years she has been volunteering with several community organizations, making pottery, spending time with her family, and managing rental properties. She has also been involved with an affordable housing project at her church, which partners with Chestnut Housing.
