Staff Spotlight: Meet Chance Frye, Staff Accountant

September 2, 2025 Leave a Comment

Chance Frye

Hello, everyone. My name is Chance Frye, and I work alongside Derek and Adrian in the accounting department at the ASA. I am a native of Northern Virginia and currently reside in my hometown of Ashburn. 

Sports have always been a big part of my life, and I would consider myself a pretty big sports fan. I have played throughout my life and ended up having a successful high school football career before going on to accept a football scholarship at The University of Virginia’s College at Wise, where I played for two seasons. Multiple injuries ended up derailing my playing career. I was forced to medically retire, and I ultimately transferred to James Madison University, where I finished my degree and graduated in 2019 as an economics major.

My first job out of school was for a consulting firm that worked strictly with nonprofits and associations, and it was something I really enjoyed. Over the last four years or so, I have held positions at for-profit organizations, but the missions, people, and environments within the association world drove me to look for an internal position and I ended up landing at the ASA, which I have thoroughly enjoyed so far!

I am still involved in football and serve as the offensive coordinator at Gainesville High School in Gainesville, Virginia. It is a relatively new school, and we are about to enter our fourth season as a varsity program. Outside of work and sports, I am a big fan of traveling, game shows, and spending time with friends and family. A fun fact about me is I won a primetime jackpot episode of The Price Is Right! Some of my prizes were a new Lexus and trips to Mexico, Finland, Singapore, and the Galapagos Islands. If you ever want to know the inside scoop on how one of those shows works, I’d be happy to share.

I am thrilled to be part of the ASA team and greatly enjoyed meeting so many of you at JSM this year!
