Skydiving since 2021
Chase started working in adventure sports as a teenager, at a bungee jumping and zip lining course near his hometown. Chase knew that office life wasn’t for him and found his way to skydiving – which turned out to be an intense personal passion as well as a career path: “I gravitated towards a job in skydiving and then I started jumping. I take something away from every single skydive, and I think it’s a great metaphor for life. There are a lot of situations we can easily overcome. But we can waste time overthinking, letting our anxiety create unrealistic scenarios, and then regretting we didn’t start sooner. Skydiving is a great reminder not to let fear control you.”
In addition to this wonderful perspective, Chase has some inspiring advice for anyone who’s thinking of making their first jump: “Skydiving is for anyone and everyone. Try it at least once, no matter how scared you are. It will change your perspective – and maybe even your life.”
