He attended the George Washington University under the Steiner Music Scholarship where he studied English and Music, won the concerto competition in his first year, and developed a new appreciation for both new music and period music performance. By day, Chase works for Capterra.com, but is already dreaming about one day retiring and purchasing a rare fiddle. When not in front of a computer or music stand, Chase can be found playing Frisbee or running on the National Mall.
