Hello, I’m Chad Callen. I am the founder and lead researcher here at BestSilverIRACompanies.org.
If you are reading this, you are probably in the same position I was a few years ago: looking at the volatile economy, worrying about the shrinking purchasing power of the dollar, and wondering, “How do I actually protect what I’ve built?”
I didn’t start this website because I was a Wall Street hedge fund manager selling exotic derivatives. I started it because I was a investor trying to help my family navigate the confusing world of precious metals retirement accounts.
My “Lightbulb” Moment
When I first started looking into Gold IRAs, I was shocked by what I found. The industry was filled with aggressive sales pitches, fear-mongering, and “exclusive” coins with hidden fees. It was nearly impossible to get a straight answer on pricing.
I realized that if I was struggling to find honest information—despite my background in journalism—then thousands of other Americans must be feeling the same frustration.
So, I decided to do the legwork myself. I spent months calling dealers, auditing their contracts, testing their customer service, and verifying their storage partnerships. That research became the foundation of this website.
My Mission
My goal is simple: To be the filter between you and the noise.
I believe that buying gold shouldn’t be scary. It should be boring. It should be a simple, transparent transaction that helps you sleep better at night. Whether you have $10,000 or $1,000,000 to protect, I want to ensure you have the data you need to avoid scams and find a partner who respects your savings.
Life Outside the Charts
When I’m not analyzing spot price spreads or updating fee tables, I am usually spending time with my wife and two kids. We live in Rocky Mountains, where we try to spend as much time as possible hiking, fishing, or working on our property.
I am a student of history and a believer in self-reliance. I believe that true wealth isn’t just about the number in your bank account—it’s about the freedom to live life on your own terms, without worrying about what the Federal Reserve decides to do next Tuesday.
Thank you for trusting me with your research.
