Hello sports fans, I'm Chad Doing, or more affectionately known as, "The Body."  Gavin Dawson gave me the name after he discovered I like to shave my body and use fake tanning cream for natural-body building competititons.  My co-workers also give me a hard time for being a Jim rome "clone" because I send emails to him on a daily basis.  As for me,  I have been a part of the FAN staff for almost two-years.  I started out on the weekends before taking over as the morning update anchor in October 2006. Like most of you, I am a huge sports fan.  I knew from an early age that becoming a pro athlete was only a dream, so I turned my attention to broadcasting.  As a youngster, I couldn't believe people actually got paid to cover sports.

My first experience was at KVAN Radio in Vancouver, WA.  I started covering high school football and basketball, and I hosted a health and fitness talk show for two years.  KVAN is where I met Gavin Dawson.  When the format changed, Gavin came over to the FAN and I began covering high school sports in Salem.  I stayed in touch with Gavin until the opportunity to join the FAN came open.

I look forward to bringing sports news to all of you on a daily basis, and I enjoy being a part of the Portland community.  Feel free to send me an email if you have a question or if you just want to chat.
