Bio
Steve Zoloto
You could not ask for a more dedicated employee than Chase. Willing to do whatever he was asked, Chase relished a challenge and wanted to prove himself from minute one. Add smarts and talent and you have a rare combination that adds tremendous value to any organization. I look forward to a time when we can work together again.

Chase has golden ears...that's pretty much all I can say. Some audio layman like me comes in and asks for things to be "louder and more bass" and he somehow interprets it and gets into the details to get some incredible audio into the game. Audio always gets the bum end of things in game production and Chase takes that as a challenge to make some sweet aural love.
