CHAD CRAWFORD, HOST

As a third generation Floridian, Chad’s love affair with the Sunshine State might seem… well… downright nutty to some folks. But, at heart, Chad is simply proud of where he lives and enjoys sharing it with others. When asked about the show, Chad says, “how to Do florida is a collision of two passions: filmmaking and Florida.”

An eye for cinematography, coupled with an infatuation with his own image, makes Chad the ideal host. He is happily married and enjoys the outdoors with his wife and three children. Floating around in his head, somewhere between lens sizes and sunsets, was an idea for a show that equips people with basic knowledge on how to get out there and enjoy their state. And so, how to Do florida was born.
