Chase was born in Asheville, NC, and Holly in Chattanooga, TN. They both came to Boone, North Carolina, to attend Appalachian State University and have remained here ever since. They live in the Valle Crucis community with their two school age children, Will and Kate. Chase Ambler works on the job site daily, participating hands on with the work Headwaters Enterprises does.
