Chase was raised in Hampton Roads, VA and eventually enlisted in the US ARMY in 2006 as a Cavalry Scout. Chase attended boot camp at the same fort in which he was born, Fort Knox, KY. Post boot camp Chase served in the 2nd Infantry DIvision in South Korea, and the 1st Cavalry Division out of Ft. Hood, TX. Chase Deployed to Iraq with 2BCT, 1-5 CAV as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. 

After receiving an Honorable Discharge in 2010, Chase moved back to his home state of VA and attended George Mason University where he graduated with a Bachelor's Degree with honors in criminal justice. At this point in his life he met Tiffany, a Vermont native and began searching for a career in law enforcement. Chase always wanted to be a part of a small community, as that was his early childhood experience. In 2013 Chase and TIffany moved to the Brattleboro, VT area where he began his career with the Brattleboro Police Department. Over the next 8 years Chase pushed to engulf himself in the community and the issues that it was struggling with. He took on many roles within the department to include TASER instructor, head firearms instructor, field training officer, Training Assistant at the Vermont Police Academy, and led the department's tactical team. 

In 2021 Chase stepped away from law enforcement due to poor stress management. He openly admits that the end of his career was due to his inability to properly handle the stress related to his careers and his personal life. Identifying that he was his own downfall, and almost became one of the statistics he strives to cease, Chase and Tiffany started Chasing ZERO in an effort to bring awareness to the struggles of life related to these careers. Chase and Tiffany now seek out opportunities and nonprofits dedicated to ending Military and First Responder suicide.
