Originally from Wisconsin, Chase made the move to Sitka two years ago, drawn to the mountains, ocean, and laid-back lifestyle. He spent the last two years with the Greater Sitka Chamber of Commerce, working on a number of community development initiatives. Now with Southeast Conference, he’s excited to bring his experience and skillset to the Alaska Mariculture Cluster. Chase holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Edgewood College. When he’s not working, you can find him somewhere outside, taking advantage of everything Southeast Alaska has to offer.”
