About Me


I’m Chapman Petersen, 21, from Fontana, Wisconsin.

I grew up on a lake. My friends call me “water boy”: sailing, surfing, diving, swimming, water polo, you name it. That’s me.

But the water gets quite cold in the winter months. This is where my competitive nature leads me to land.

From state championships in soccer and basketball to hours with the guitar and the chessboard, I simply love challenges.

After a childhood in the Midwest, my intellectual curiosity took me to the East Coast for a diverse boarding school, and now the West Coast for college, building a vast foundation of experiences that I draw from every day.
