Chase Thomas serves as Chair of the Board for Alpha Wealth Foundation and is the owner of Alpha Wealth Funds. His leadership is shaped by a rare combination of financial acumen and deep artistic training.

Chase majored in dance at Brigham Young University, following a lifelong engagement with performance. He was named his high school’s Sterling Scholar for Dance and began performing with a dance-forward performance group at age nine, continuing through high school. After graduating from BYU, Chase spent a season as an intern dancer with Repertory Dance Theatre (RDT) before ultimately shifting his professional focus to finance.

Outside the office, Chase is an avid skier and rock climber. His background in performance, discipline, and physical rigor informs the thoughtful, balanced leadership he brings to the foundation.
