Chase is a contributing editor for PhoneDog and is new to the mobile industry, but not to writing. When he's not flashing a new ROM, or reading specs of the latest phones, he's probably lurking Craigslist for a new phone, tablet, or crazy deal. Outside of the mobile universe, Chase is an F1 fan and dachshund enthusiast. When completely disconnected from society, you can find Chase biking, running, or working on his money-pit E46 330xi.
