Angus Chase
Project Developer
Angus Chase, a dynamic Project Developer at TriVistaUSA Design + Build, brings a unique blend of passion, practicality, and creativity to his role. Originally from Minneapolis but raised in the lively city of Rochester, NY, Angus was immersed in a world of creativity from an early age. His parents, both professors—his mother an art historian and his father a sculptor—instilled in him a deep appreciation for design.
At McQuaid Jesuit High School, Angus was a standout athlete, captaining the lacrosse team while also excelling in soccer and football. His enthusiasm for architecture took root during a summer job with a residential design build company, setting the stage for his future career. He pursued his passion at Catholic University in Washington, DC, where he dived into the world of residential architecture through various internships.
Angus’s first foray into the architecture industry was as a sales associate at Ace Hardware. While he anticipated learning about tools, he found the true lesson was in customer service and connection, skills he values deeply. His upbeat, outgoing personality and commitment to helping others make him a standout in his field.
Outside of work, Angus enjoys playing guitar, sketching architectural designs, and experimenting in the kitchen. His infectious energy and dedication make him a driving force at TriVistaUSA, where he continues to inspire and connect with those around him.
