Hi, I'm Chase Gibson,

your personal guide to Northeast Indiana.

Having been born and raised in Northeast Indiana, I love being able to share what has been my home for nearly all my life. In an area that has everything from rural treasures to a real urban flair, there is something for everybody. Throughout my time here, I have made so many fantastic memories with family and friends in every corner of the region. I am confident that everybody who visits will find something that interests them and will make outstanding memories here as well.

When I am not exploring Northeast Indiana, you can catch me doing a variety of home improvement projects with my wife (and, of course, with the help of my loyal puppy, Peach). I am also a proud Purdue University graduate and love going to home football games and tailgating with friends. I absolutely love the outdoors, and enjoy playing a variety of sports, as well as traveling and seeing the natural sights that the world has to offer. 

I would love to talk to you about expanding or relocating to Northeast Indiana!
