After the Marines and Vietnam in 1971, he graduated with degrees in math and business and spent 28 years in High Tech in Silicon Valley.

He retired from high tech and rekindled his passion, moving to paris in 2000 and After a few years of persistent and studious painting, he was selected to exhibit at the north beach gallery in san francisco. His paintings were selected to many shows in San Francisco, Paris and Los Angeles to name a few.

 

In 2005, Chase was selected along with 87 other artists from 30 countries to represent the Dalai Lama in an international art show called "The Missing Peace, Artists consider the Dalai Lama". His painting, “E’Volution vers une Incarnation”, was selected and purchased by an art collector in Japan.
