Family, Business & Public Service

"Take the biggest bite you can and then figure out how to chew it!" says Chase Warren Slepak, a man whose journey reflects a dedication to family, business, and public service.
Born and raised in a blue-collar, rural area north of Pittsburgh, Chase credits his scrappiness and grit to his upbringing. At the core of his pursuits is a deep commitment to family as a devoted husband to Kate and father to Reagan Grace and Charlie Brooks.

Early Life

Chase’s entrepreneurial spirit kicked off at 18 with a series of colorful gigs that read like a Hollywood script: door-to-door dry cleaning salesman, asphalt sealer, night-shift security guard, and even a short stint as a bounty hunter. These quirky jobs laid the groundwork for his hands-on business approach.

In his late teens and early twenties, Chase launched his first real businesses: Fifth Avenue Carwash & Detailing and Fortitude Property Services, where he managed foreclosed properties on behalf of lenders. These ventures provided incredible learning experiences, teaching him more about resilience, customer service, and business operations than any business school could. The hands-on challenges and successes of these early enterprises laid a solid foundation for his future entrepreneurial endeavors.

  • Slepak Enterprises: A real estate holding and management company with properties in Pennsylvania and Ohio

Additionally, Chase is the Interim President of Rainshadow Labs.

Most recently, Chase co-founded Pretty Tasty, a line of collagen teas with a group of close colleagues.

Chase is also an active angel investor and a respected advisor & coach to many founders in the consumer goods space.

Public Service

Beyond business, Chase is deeply engaged in public service:

  • Life member of the Fawn Township Fire Company, holding all line and executive offices, including Chief and President

  • Serves on the board of numerous non-profits

  • Contributes to community safety as a Search and Rescue Technician (SAR Tech) with the Ohio Special Response Team

"Stay hungry!" says Chase, capturing his relentless drive across family, business, and public service. This mantra, rooted in the grit of his father and his grandmother—a resilient first-generation immigrant from Korea still working at nearly 80—reflects a belief that hard work and determination run deep in his veins.
