Chase Walton initially joined the PMI team in 2002 as an intern fresh out of high school, having already accumulated several years of experience with recording engineering, FOH sound mixing, and home audio systems. The following year he was brought on full time as an associate engineer at PMI’s home office in Marin County, California, to assist in a variety of capacities, including acoustic design and engineering, drafting, audio system calibration and commissioning, and technical editing and publication. Walton has since moved back to his home in Memphis, Tennessee, where he evaluates new and emerging technologies for PMI and works closely with PMI’s Anthony Grimani to write informational and instructional articles in leading industry trade publications. In between projects for PMI, he moonlights as a video engineer and lighting designer. He enjoys watching live sports in 4K HDR, experimenting with his personal home theater and media rooms, and is an avid video gamer.
