While in school in Santa Barbara, Chapple worked as a taxidermist, giving him a special understanding of his developing interest in wildlife painting. Chapple was a professional football player at UCSB and participated in the National Football League from 1969 until 1975 as a kicker, winning All-Pro while with the Los Angeles Rams in 1972. He also started his professional career as an artist in 1970 while playing professional football for the Los Angeles Rams. His retirement from football in 1975 enabled him to turn his attention full-time to his artistic pursuits. Primarily a contemporary oil painter under the influence of the early California impressionist landscape painters, Chapple has won numerous stamp contests for conservation groups and various state stamps for California, Kentucky, Utah, and Idaho. His lifelong passion for golf has translated into painting commissions for Jack Nicklaus, ABC Sports, Fred Couples, U.S. Open (golf), U.S. Senior Open, tour events, and various country clubs and golf courses around the country. Further extending his artistic talents into sculpture in the 1980s, Chapple was commissioned by many corporations including the Chiron Corporation, DuPont Nature Center, and Ameriflex, among others, as well as a life-size bronze of Florence Griffith Joyner at the Saddleback Memorial Medical Center in Laguna Hills, California. Chapple has been extremely active with Ducks Unlimited for several years and donates work annually for fundraising.
