Meet Management Team Member Chad Keilen


With over 7 years of project management experience, Chad understands the importance of leadership, persistency, dedication and follow-through, all of which he offers to the management team. Graduating from Ferris State University in 2001 with an engineering degree, Chad purchased a home on the east side of Michigan to work as a project engineer near Ann Arbor, the home for many great musical acts, such as Iggy Pop, The MC5 and Bob Seger. It didn’t take Chad long to be introduced to the music scene and offer his house as a practice spot for multiple local artists, including 2 bands which future-partner, Ryan Darnell was a part of.

Continuing engineering by day, Chad also developed a hobby side project, forming a property management company and taking on the roll as real-estate investor. Purchasing 7 additional houses, renting a total of 15 units, Chad learned the necessity of following a project from start to finish. But by night, Chad was coming home to watch and listen to great live music acts in the comfort of his own home. The combination of Chad’s love for music and thirst for business success leave him offering Tagline Media the business savvy necessary to drive musicians and their music to the next level.
