About Chad

Frisco has been home since 1999

Chad Brubaker has called Frisco home since moving here in 1999. Over the past 27 years, he's had a front-row seat to the city's remarkable growth, from a small North Texas town to the thriving community it is today.

Along the way, he's had the privilege of getting to know many of Frisco's founding families, longtime residents, and community leaders who helped shape the city. Through those relationships and his own involvement, he's been fortunate to play a small part in Frisco's remarkable story.

For Chad and his wife, Whitney, who was born and raised in Frisco, the connection to this community runs especially deep. Frisco is more than a place to live. It's a community built on generations of hard work, vision, and relationships—and a place they're grateful to call home.

Civic service

For more than 14 years, Chad Brubaker has served the City of Frisco through boards, advisory committees, and long-range planning initiatives. His involvement has spanned parks and recreation, neighborhood design, economic development, and the city's future growth. Throughout that service, Chad has worked alongside residents, city staff, and community leaders to help shape the community Frisco is today and plan for what comes next.

Frisco Community Development Corporation (CDC)

Chad has served on the Frisco Community Development Corporation since 2018. After serving as Vice President, he was elected President in 2024 and has since been reelected by his fellow board members for three consecutive terms. The CDC invests sales tax revenue into economic development, parks, public amenities, and community projects that enhance Frisco's quality of life. Through his service, Chad has participated in decisions involving long-term public investments, community infrastructure, and opportunities that support Frisco's continued success.

Frisco Parks and Recreation Board

Chad served on the Frisco Parks and Recreation Board from 2012 to 2018, including serving as Vice Chairman from September 2016 through September 2018. During a period of significant growth, he participated in the city's efforts to plan for future parks, recreational facilities, trails, and open spaces. The board's work focused on meeting the needs of a growing community while preserving and improving the amenities that contribute to Frisco's quality of life, with an emphasis on thoughtful planning and long-term stewardship.

Neighborhood Design Strategy Advisory Group

Chad served on Frisco's Neighborhood Design Strategy Advisory Group, helping develop recommendations for the design and long-term quality of future residential neighborhoods. The initiative examined neighborhood layouts, streetscapes, walkability, connectivity, safety, and community character. Its goal was to establish thoughtful design principles that would help new neighborhoods maintain their appeal and value over time, ensuring Frisco's residential growth reflected the standards and quality that distinguish the city.

Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committees (2015 & Frisco 2040)

Chad participated in both the 2015 and Frisco 2040 comprehensive planning processes, serving as the Community Development Corporation's representative on the Frisco 2040 Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee. These efforts help establish a long-term vision for the city's future, addressing land use, infrastructure, neighborhoods, economic opportunities, parks, and community amenities. His participation reflects a commitment to looking beyond immediate needs and considering how the decisions made today will shape Frisco for generations to come.

US 380 Overlay Design District Committee

Chad served on the US 380 Overlay Design District Committee, which focused on establishing clear land-use, architectural, landscaping, and development standards for Frisco's northern gateway. The initiative sought to encourage high-quality development and create a distinctive entrance into the city, rather than allowing prominent gateway properties to be defined by conventional strip retail, automobile dealerships, or other uses inconsistent with the area's long-term vision. The goal was to help ensure that Frisco's northern corridor reflects the city's commitment to quality, thoughtful development, and lasting value.

Community involvement

Chad's commitment to serving others extends beyond his work with the City of Frisco. He was ordained as a deacon at Prestonwood Baptist Church in January 2021 and continues to serve in that role today. Faith, service, and community remain important parts of his life.

Chad previously served as a Block Captain in the Frisco Police Department's Neighborhood Watch program, working with neighbors to encourage communication, awareness, and neighborhood safety.

He also previously served as a Denton County Republican Precinct Chair, participating in local civic engagement and grassroots political activities.

These experiences reflect Chad's longstanding involvement in his community and his willingness to serve in different capacities.

Civic education & community programs

Chad has made a point of learning firsthand about the institutions, people, and services that make Frisco a great place to call home. He is a graduate of several civic education and public safety programs, including:

  • City Hall 101
  • Frisco Citizens Police Academy
  • Frisco Citizens Fire Academy
  • Frisco Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

Chad also participated in the Frisco ISD Insight Program alongside his wife, Whitney, gaining a deeper understanding of the school district's operations, educational programs, and services to Frisco families.
