Family, Food, 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, food, business, and public service. Chase's commitment to family is at the core of his pursuits as a devoted husband to Kate and a father to Reagan Grace and Charlie Brooks.

In his early childhood, Chase worked a farm, sold ice cream at Chase's Frozen Fun, and engaged in various endeavors to make a buck—a testament to his early work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit. These formative experiences laid the foundation for a lifetime of hard work and innovation.

Starting at the age of 18, Chase embarked on diverse ventures. He sold dry cleaning services door-to-door, sealed asphalt, worked night-shift security during high school, and even took on a brief stint as a freelance bounty hunter. Alongside these pursuits, he slept in his truck in the high school parking lot before attending classes in the morning. These experiences and his passion for hands-on business led him to establish a car wash and detail shop, providing invaluable lessons despite eventual closure. Intrigued by the real estate market dynamics, Chase ventured into managing foreclosed properties.

As the Chairman and President of Slepak Family Companies, Chase oversees a dynamic portfolio, including Slepak Enterprises—a real estate holding and management company with properties in Pennsylvania and Ohio. In the entertainment sector, Chase brought Uncle Joe's Good Time to life in Geneva-On-The-Lake, Ohio, a family fun center in memory of his late Uncle Joe, and The Gas Station in Vandergrift, PA, an indoor baseball and softball training facility. Reflecting his commitment to enjoyable experiences for families and athletes alike, these ventures exemplify Chase's multifaceted approach.

In the consumer packaged goods sector, Chase serves as the Chief Operating Officer at Boylan Bottling, Jolt Cola, MASH, Detour Bar, and Overnight Oats Bar. Co-founding Purvey CPG, a community supporting founders of food, snack, and beverage companies, and DistroBox, connecting emerging brands with innovative distributors, showcases his vision in the industry. Chase is an active angel investor in the space and is a respected advisor & coach to many founders.

Beyond business, Chase is deeply engaged in public service. He remains a life member of the Fawn Township Fire Company and, throughout his tenure, has held all line and executive offices, including Chief and President. Additionally, he serves on the board of numerous non-profits. He actively 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.
