Chase grew up on the windswept plains of the Midwest, did a brief stint on the East Coast as a young-adult, and then high-tailed it across the country to Portland, Oregon where he now works as The Manual's Associate Editor. When he's not writing and editing you can find him hitting the trails and rivers of the beautiful Pacific Northwest, lying on a beach, or reading a good piece of non-fiction.
