About Me

Chad Van Soest earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees at Point Loma Nazarene University, spending his first four years as an Admissions Counselor there learning the ins and outs of the process from the inside. His Master's in Education with a Counseling emphasis led him to Valor Christian High School in Denver, where he spent 10 years counseling students on academics and college admissions.

Chad is a vetted professional member of IECA and RMACAC and a certified college essay coach through the WOW essay workshop. His commitment to firsthand knowledge is serious: in 2022-2023, he lived in a camper and visited 160 colleges across the country. Outside of work, he serves on Point Loma's Alumni Board, leads student service trips abroad, has summited 22 of Colorado's 58 fourteen-thousand-foot peaks plus Kilimanjaro, and enjoys fishing, birding, storm chasing, and time with his wife Britt and his yellow lab, Sunny.
