Expertise and Experience

Chase was born and raised in New Jersey where he began his career in journalism as a political reporter. From there, he quickly moved into freelancing, and over the years he has written and edited for dozens of publications on the web—from outdoor news sites to history magazines. His first foray into product reviews came in 2015, writing and editing for Ezvid Wiki, the largest and most comprehensive video wiki on the web. Since then, his work has appeared on several other consumer review outlets, such as GameRevolution.com, DogTime.com, and BestReviews.com.

Chase has produced and edited reviews for hundreds of products—everything from smartphones and laptops to dog collars and cat food. He’s particularly knowledgeable about automotive tools, cookware, and camping gear, having spent years tinkering in those areas as a lifetime hobbyist. When not behind a keyboard, he can usually be found experimenting in the kitchen; riding a bike or motorcycle; or camping, climbing, and hiking outside.
