About me...#DreamChasin

Hello fellow users of the 'Interweb," my name is Chase Alberts. I was born in Lincoln, and relocated to Atlanta when I was three years old. My dad was a college football player for the Huskers, and was drafted by the Colts in the first round with the 5th pick overall in 1993. I was born in 1997 during his last year in the pros. We moved to Atlanta, where I lived for 11 years while he worked for ESPN and CNN. We moved to Omaha 2009 where my dad took the job as the Athletic Director at the University of Nebraska Omaha. Here I attended THE.. Kiewit Middle School, where I played basketball. I attend Creighton Prep, where I play football as a wide receiver and run track. My track events include high jump, triple jump, 200 meter, and 4x100 meter. My favorite sport to play is basketball, in which I am notorious for my ability to dunk. I dunked two-handed for the first time on February 12th, 2014 at 3:39 PM in the Mullen Gym. It was witnessed by Andrew Morrow and Isaiah Reed. In my free time, I love to watch Law and Order, SVU. I have a crush on Mariska Hargitay, who plays detective Benson. I have a lake house in Seneca, South Carolina where I enjoy tubing and jet skiing. For song choice, I can honestly say I have a new favorite song every other week. An interesting fact about me is that I was on a cooking show when I was nine. I made a guest appearance on "Good Eats," with Alton Brown. I remember my line to this day.. "Now that's what I call a time machine." In the future, I aspire to be a Second Lieutenant in the US military and to be involved with intelligence and overseas combat.  I aspire to get an appointment to one of the US military academies. My top choice is the Naval Academy in Annapolis, but if I was accepted into West Point, I would still be ecstatic. The real heroes are the ones that don't make it home. Every day, I pray for those in the military that they can come home safely. My great-grandpa, Corporal Jack Chorpening, served in the military in the Air Force. He was a tail gunner in Burma, China, and India. His plane was shot down three times, and he himself was wounded multiple times. I aspire to be just like him.
