AARON KOKER
Topeka Area Manager, Estimator

Meet Aaron. He knows what it's like to start, own and run a business, so we talked him in to managing the sales and technical operations of ours. With more than 20 years of A/V experience under his belt, he's the man that sees to it that your expectations are met all the way from start to finish.

MICHAEL COLLEY
Kansas City Area Manager, Estimator
Tel: (785) 608-6228
Michael Colley is what you would call a 'legacy' in the business. Growing up with his dads A/V business, he was installing systems long before he could even drive (legally). This explains his tremendous capability to evaluate and design residential and commercial systems for hundreds of our customers. He leads up our Kansas City office and can handle projects of all sizes and shapes.

JOSH PAUL (JP)
Project Designer
Josh Paul (JP) is the inside "cog" to our wheel of operations. His daily duties include managing the showroom, purchasing, inventory staging, and design review. He's a man of many talents, some of which we get to enjoy (dont ask about the others). If you are working with us on a project, chances are that you'll deal with JP at least once.

JESSE ROTH
Lead Technician & Programmer
Our longest standing technician, Jesse has been with us since 2003. This guy knows his stuff, so much so that 'tech-speak' is a second language to him. When he's not in deep with a computer programming awesome automation and control systems for us, he's usually doing the exact same thing at his own house. (Thats dedication!)

RYAN KINNEY
Lead Security Technician
Ryan is a jack of all trades when it comes to A/V systems and especially security systems. He loves keeping out the bad guys, and making systems work smarter, not harder. If you have a need for a super-high-tech bag of goodies, you might just get to meet him.
