The Open & Closed Institute is a pseudonym for Chad Seidel.

Born and raised in Fort Collins, Colorado. Chad hopes to eventually forge classified documents and write an intergenerational spy novel from a Swedish jail cell through the spirits of his great great grandparents.

This website is a catalogue of my most organized thoughts. The podcasts document my existential journey from 2012-2017. The public shows bring us to 2020. Anything in the last three years is currently unorganized.
