Chad was born on February 27, 1972 to William and Claire (Hoover) Jividen in Grand Island.  He grew up in Grand Island, Chapman and Central City.  Chad understood at an early age the need of Jesus in his heart.  This led him to working on a bus route and in the children’s ministry.  Chad graduated from Nebraska Christian High School in 1990.  It was in 1992 that he met Ronda Ortegren as they were teaching a 3rd grade Awana class.  Chad and Ronda were married in August of 1994.  Providing for his family was always a priority for Chad.  He managed and oil changing shop in Grand Island and then owned his own shop in Central City. He later worked for Herks Welding, Covenant Doors, and Strobel Manufacturing.
