CHAD NACKERS was raised by a Zenith television and Betamax VCR, which weakened his mind and body and kept him off the tough streets of Appleton, Wisconsin. But all that changed in 1997 when he dropped out from the school of life, moved onto his friend's floor and began taking photos for the Onion. He has continued to contribute to the Onion by taking photos, creating Photoshop collages and writing headlines and jokes. He currently resides in Brooklyn, New York with his wife and two cats.
