He is clearly a passionate technical professional and takes great pride in the work and nothing less than 'best of my ability' is acceptable. I thoroughly enjoy working with Chisel as we're both happy to discuss solutions without involving egos and enabling us to provide stronger solutions to problems. Highly recommended. Jason"
