After shooting their SS 2016 campaign, Chad Cole sits down with Hush Puppies to talk about the things that keep him smiling!

 HP: What makes you smile?
C: My wife, my children and the sun.

HP: The sun! What’s your go-to warm weather outfit?
C: Flat-front shorts, v–neck t–shirt, and sandals. Keep it cool.

HP: What’s your favorite summer destination?
C: It’s actually Palm Springs! True story.

HP: Really? This is the perfect shoot for you then!
C: Exactly.

HP: What’s your quintessential Saturday morning?
C: Getting up (it‘s always early, my children wake me up), and just lounging around. My wife and I making breakfast (coffee, bacon and eggs). I’m easy to please.

HP: Is your style laid-back as well?
C: Definitely. My style is comfortable. And a little scruff on the face.

HP: What’s the best advice you’ve been given?
C: Don’t worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon.

HP: We’ve never heard that one before! What’s one word to describe you?
C: Fun!

HP: We can confirm that, you’ve definitely added fun to this shoot! You are also really passionate about helping children with special needs.                                                                                                                 C: Absolutely. My wife and I launched the nonprofit, Addy Pres. It is a foundation for special needs children. We’re implementing programs in the public school system to help children with special needs. 

Chad even played photographer for a shot, helping us get the perfect angle of our beloved basset hound.
