Chad Briscoe is prepared to begin his sixth season as the Director of Athletics at Grace College.Briscoe's energetic vision of the future has guided Grace Athletics to unparelled success across the school's varsity programs. His desire to pursue Christ-like excellence through the realm of athletics has led many of Grace's teams to some of their best seasons ever.
Under Briscoe’s guidance, student-athlete aid at Grace increased substantially. He also raised funds for a press box and scoreboard at Grace’s softball diamond, a pristine team room for the volleyball team and a remodeled coaches’ office at the Gordon Recreation Center. In the fall of 2014, the Lancers' soccer stadium will debut a comprehensive field upgrade which includes lights for the first time in school history.
“I want to thank Dr. Manahan, Dr. Katip and Dr. Swanson for the opportunity to serve through leading the athletic department at Grace College,” Briscoe continued. “There is a strong commitment by the college administration to continue building athletic success and for the athletic experience to assist students to grow spiritually, academically, socially and athletically. My family and I look are blessed to be a part of this campus community.”
Briscoe secured Grace College as the host for the NCCAA Division I National Championships for men’s and women’s basketball from 2012-2017 – the first time the NCCAA has held both championships at the same venue.

Additionally he was named the conference's Athletic Director of the Year in 2010.

He also secured a three-year sponsorship from St. Francis Hospital for the athletic department as well as directed improvements at the school’s tennis courts, baseball field, weight room, football and track building, basketball gym and soccer field.
Before his first stint at Grace College from 2007-11, Briscoe was the assistant athletic director and head assistant men’s basketball coach at Geneva College. He also spent two years on the men’s basketball staff at Ball State University.
Briscoe went to school at Anderson University where he was a standout basketball player. He continued his basketball career overseas, playing professionally in Sweden.
He has also been involved in upper management for professional baseball, working with the Texas Rangers’ minor league system from 1998-2000. He served as the General Manager for the Pulaski Rangers in the Appalachian League.
