Hometown: Bowman, ND

Education: ND State College of Science

Payroll Express, Inc., Founder, since 1995

Darcy is a Bowman, ND native, graduated from ND State College of Science and worked in the dental industry for nearly a decade following college. In 1995, she founded Payroll Express, Inc. to manage the Human Resources for small to mid-size businesses, becoming the “off-site HR department”; handling everything from hiring, benefits, and performance reviews to exits and terminations. And, yes, accurate and on-time payroll too. In 1998, she founded Overland Payroll, Inc., to manage the payroll and human resources for construction and seasonal businesses.

Along with her husband, Todd, and the rest of the team, Payroll Express became the region’s premier small business HR service and within years, built new offices “the stable” on Sheyenne Street in West Fargo. In 2020, Darcy and Todd sold Payroll Express, Inc. to a local staffing agency and have been enjoying the freedom of retirement ever since. Congratulations on your success – and THANK YOU for all of your generous contributions to our Club!

Brokered by RE/Max Legacy, NewLight Realty – Buyers, Sellers and Investors throughout the upper Midwest.
In the business of helping people.

Raised in Knoxville, TN Chad comes from a family of entrepreneurs. Starting at a young age, Chad learned what it takes to run and operate a business in every aspect. As a kid, Chad and his family would frequent open houses and he developed a passion for architecture and character. Being a very hands on person, he would help friends and family with projects around the house learning different skill sets to move his passion further. As Chad starting buying and selling homes, there was something missing. He took different aspects of the process with his former Realtors and tweaked them to his own style to give his clients the best service possible. After moving to Fargo in 2017 for family he worked in manufacturing industry before pursuing his real estate license. Family is a big part of who Chad is and real estate allows him the time for clients while being flexible to be at family events and his kids activities. Chad and his wife Sylvia reside in West Fargo with their 4 children and cat Autumn.
