Chase Masters

Chase Masters is a 20 year old student at Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania. He is currently a senior and is majoring in Intelligence Studies. Although he was born in Sharon, Pennsylvania, he spent much of his early years in Arkansas. Chase graduated from highschool in Arkansas. The fact that he graduated from highschool is of course a good achievement for most everyone. However, interestingly enough, he graduated from highschool at the age of 15. That explains why he is a senior student at the age of 20. He and his family currently reside here in Erie, Pennsylvania. 

His choice of Mercyhurst University is a unique one. Most students base their choice of college on location, curriculum, campus environment and so forth. But not Chase! His choice of Mercyhurst was not based on the usual criteria. Rather, he chose Mercyhurst University was because his mother is the dean of the College of Business. Now, that’s not a bad connection to have when you are attending school. I'm surprised that he is not majoring in business.

Chase is a professional ESports team member in the trading card game, Magic The Gathering. ESports is a world wide video gaming competition organization that began back in 1972 at Stanford University. Not surprisingly, Chase is also a member of the Tabletop Games Club that meets every Monday evening at the Hirt Academic Center. This gives him an opportunity to hone his Magic The Gathering skills. The ESports team that Chase is a member of The Magic The Gathering Team is called “China Pal.” 

Some things he wanted to share about himself in the way of fun facts, as well as unexpected facts, is that in his ESports group, he is the only American member of his team. Another interesting fact is that Chase lived for a short while in the Philippines that in turn afforded him some good experience in living in a different culture.
