Chance Frye loves competition. The Ashburn native played football for Stone Bridge High School. After he graduated in 2015, he played college ball for two years at the University of Virginia-Wise.
Now the 27-year-old lives in Vienna, where he’s an accountant by day and a high school football coach by night.
This love of competition also extends to television game shows. Frye has been a fan of them since he was a little kid, and he admits to regularly watching the Game Show Network on cable.
That’s how Frye recently found himself on the stage and winning big on America’s longest-running game show, “The Price is Right.”
The adventure began when Frye and his buddy, Julian Albizo, headed off to Los Angeles to attend the Rose Bowl.
It’s helpful if you know that Frye is the type of guy who plans things in great detail. Besides the Rose Bowl, they had tickets to an L.A. Kings hockey game and some other sporting events. But their schedule wasn’t quite full.
“We had an open day on Wednesday,” Frye said. “And I looked at what type of things were available and saw ‘The Price is Right,’ and I said, ‘We are going to get those tickets.’”
Getting those tickets was a fateful decision. To read about what happened next — including how he got on the show, what host Drew Carey said to him when they met, and the prizes he won — click here and head over to the Ashburn Magazine website.
