We had the pleasure of meeting Chad Nixon at the Stillwater Derby in 2019. He was the most dapper guest, fully embracing the Derby lifestyle. He was also noteworthy because of his generosity that evening. Since the Derby, we have learned just how generous and caring Chad is. Lucky for us, he also has a passion for Veterans and their families. We knew we needed to get him involved with the ranch if we could. Thankfully he joined our Board of Directors in early 2020, and we couldn't be happier to have him as part of the SR family.

"Being a board member for Stillwater Ranch is an amazing opportunity that I am honored to have been afforded. The passion for our great nation's Veterans and active military is infectious to anyone who passes through here and has a chance to hear the mission of this incredible nonprofit. I am not only excited to see what will happen over the next few years, but I am excited to be here to help make it happen!"  Chad Nixon
