Chad Kantlehner

Co-founder, Creative Director

Chad was born and raised in Louisville, KY. He briefly ventured to South Central Kentucky to study at WKU, but he was surprised to find that there weren’t millions of gallons of world-renowned bourbon like there was back home.

Mammoth Creative has occasionally been accused of putting form ahead of function and beauty over truth, but doesn’t a little razzle-dazzle usually benefit both?

Chad was born with an unquenchable compulsion to create, and he helps us create brand experiences that are hard to ignore. Over the years, his love for all things tech, media and storytelling has only grown stronger.

He has a unique eye for telling stories through visuals and capturing snapshots in time that help us better understand the human experience, something that AI will never be able to replace.

Chad has a dog named Beau and a hairline that has been the same since he was 7. In his spare time, he enjoys hobbies that let him create with his hands—often opting for drills, table saws and other dangerous objects that we hope don’t take him out of commission for extended periods.

We’re legally required by our Operating Agreement to end every one of his bios with “Go Cards!”
