HDEU for me started my junior year at the University of North Carolina. I was injured during the very first game of the season (a season during which I was expected to be one of the top players on our team) and I was left with an ankle that needed rehab and a heart and mind that were crushed.
I was in the weight room at the beginning of my rehab and I looked up into the mirror to see myself in a way that I had never seen myself before. I looked mad. Not “mad at the world” or even mad at my situation – mad like the man in the mirror craved only one result: Victory.
Going into my senior year I was finally healthy again ready to play and I got a phone call from my mom. I picked up the phone and my mom just says my name and her voice is really shaky. She says, “Chase come home. Dad died.” I didn’t know how he died, I didn’t know what happened but I got in my truck and drove home.
Coming back from that injury I knew I could heal, I knew I could fix my leg, I knew I could rehab. But something like losing your dad is not something you can just rehab from. It takes time. That whole fall my mentality had to kick in even more. Head Down Eyes Up…Keep Going.
When I graduated from college and started writing songs, I wrote the letters H D E U on a hat. I wanted to have that on me to always remind myself “Head Down Eyes Up.” I wanted to always see those letters. Whether life’s good. Whether life's bad. Everyone’s telling you how good you are. Everyone’s telling you how much you suck. For me it’s all about the idea: If you keep the mentality, Head Down Eyes Up…Keep Going…Who can stop you? It’s as simple as that.
From that day on, “Head Down Eyes Up” became my personal motto; my way of life to succeed not by looking at an end result, but by fighting every step of the way, focusing only on each moment in front of me. Through it all, I've kept my head down and my eyes up, and they are locked in on every small step of the way that leads to victory.
Head Down Eyes Up…Keep Going.

Months ago, I made what I thought was a smart financial move, investing in a cryptocurrency platform that promised high returns and boasted glowing online reviews. The interface looked legitimate, and at first, everything went smoothly. My portfolio showed increasing profits, and I was even encouraged to invest more. But things quickly took a dark turn.When I attempted my first withdrawal, my request was “under review.” Days passed. Then weeks. Customer service stopped responding, and the platform’s website eventually went offline. I had been scammed. Thousands, hundreds of dollars, money I’d worked hard to save, vanished into thin air.Feeling helpless, I began scouring the internet for answers. That’s when I found Alpha Spy Nest mentioned in a crypto recovery thread. Skeptical but desperate, I contacted them. From the very first message, they were professional, empathetic, and knowledgeable. Their team got to work immediately. They used blockchain analytics tools to trace the flow of funds, uncovering how the scammers moved my crypto through mixers and fake wallets. I was shocked at how sophisticated the fraud operation was, but even more impressed with Alpha Spy Nest’s expertise in navigating it. They provided updates throughout the process, explaining each step in a way I could understand. After a few days, I received a message that still feels surreal: “We’ve secured a partial recovery.” Within days, the funds were safely returned to my wallet. Eventually, they recovered nearly all of my original investment.Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just retrieve my money, they restored my hope and taught me valuable lessons about cybersecurity and due diligence. I can’t thank them enough for turning a financial nightmare into a story of resilience and redemption.

In December 2024, I experienced a major setback when over $1,000,000 worth of BTC and USDT was stolen from my trading account. I had entrusted a well-known broker, an influencer in the industry, with managing my digital assets and reinvesting the proceeds from the sale of my house. After weeks of frustration and searching for answers, I found ICC Services. Their team was incredibly professional, reviewing my case and quickly developing a recovery plan. Within just two days, they successfully recovered my stolen assets. The process was smooth, and their dedication was evident. If you’ve lost access to your wallet or been a victim of fraud, I highly recommend ICC Services for their efficient and reliable recovery solutions. They truly have your back!

I believed in a cleaner tomorrow, one where blockchain and renewable energy were not enemies. My wind farm was proof. Excess energy powered my Bitcoin mining machines, a closed loop. It was the future. Until the ransomware attack.
My turbines hummed one morning as they always did, but my mining operation? Gone. My wallet? Locked. One message replaced my screen:
“Create a payment of 5 BTC to free your information. You have 72 hours.”
The irony? My carbon-neutral Bitcoin had been taken hostage.
I panicked. I had crafted my system for survival, yet here I was, stuck. Perplexed, I went to industry colleagues. That’s when one panelist from a Clean Energy Summit contacted me:
“Consider ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST. They provide blockchain forensics, and they’re carbon neutral!”
I was desperate but skeptical. During my first call, their personnel were talking my language, both security and sustainability. They did not just care about Bitcoin; they cared about why I was mining it.
Their approach? Genius. Instead of negotiating with the hackers, they reverse-engineered the ransomware. My infrastructure had been attacked through a zero-day vulnerability in the grid software, not my specific setup.
This wasn’t a solo problem. This was an energy security emergency for the entire region.
Over 12 frenetic days, ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST, worked with good-faith hackers and clean-energy engineers. They did not simply recover my Bitcoin without giving a ransom to attackers, they also fixed the flaw that had jeopardized our grid in the first place.
When I was finally able to log back in to my wallet, I felt like I’d regained not only my Bitcoin, but command over my vision.
My wind farm is now more secure than ever. ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST, even helped us implement decentralized security protocols to prevent future hacks. And the icing on the cake? Their carbon offsets make their entire operation all about aligning with my emphasis on sustainability.
I once believed that Bitcoin and green energy were the perfect pair, but now I understand security is the third leg.
If you work in cleantech and disaster strikes? ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST, is not a rescue team, they are a renewable power.
