Councilman Chad O'Rear

Councilman Chad O'Rear Simpsonville native representing Ward 1 on City Council I was born in Greenville and raised in Simpsonville. We're empty nesters!

I married my high school sweetheart almost 30 years ago and we have twin daughters who have already finished college. I love to read to continue my life long passion for history. I also enjoy traveling with my family and seeing the world. I'm a massive college football fan since my Dad, my brother, and myself played! I have a strong desire to serve, guide, and assist my hometown and her residents as a member of the Simpsonville City Council.
