While attending Salt Lake Community College's Aviation Maintenance program at the age of 22, he often found himself doodling in class. A year later Chase decided to leave aviation behind to pursue his newfound passion and entered the Illustration program at Utah Valley University. Throughout his time there, Chase discovered a fascination with world religions and mythologies.His studies of Hindu Gods and Goddesses have allowed him to rediscover his own spirituality and inspire his personal projects today, including the work displayed in The Book of Olith. Along with his flourishing career as an independent artist, Chase currently teaches art at a residential treatment center for high school students with high incidence disabilities.
