Chad Eoff Programs Chad started his VR career four summers ago as a counselor, but now takes the summer off from his teaching position at Bolivar Central High School to wreak havoc at the ranch as the salty pirate, Captain Kirk and the notorious Bubblegum Kid. The real Chad returns each night to lead music and worship at Roundup.. Graham Harrison Sports and Recreation Graham is the Swiss Army knife of Victory Ranch.

A lifetime athlete and outdoorsman, Graham brings a passion for sports and outdoor activities to this area. Spencer McLean Programs This Presbyterian Day School teacher and coach is the skit man extraordinaire. One moment he’s the nerdy Poindexter from Abacus Ranch and the next he’s changing bad attitudes as Dr. Funkenstein. The real Spencer will join the real Chad in leading the evening worship at Roundup. David Rose Aquatics David, the VR version of Hercules, will be managing all things wet and wild at the activity-lake and pool.
