Hey, Been here a Long time and been in the Industry longer. Started out in Car-fi back in the mid to late 80's. THe SHop I worked for (ANd eventaly managed) did both Home and car so even though my first love was High Quality Car Audio I was sucked into the B&W 801's we had on the floor many a night.
ALways the COmputer geek, when I moved on to a Home A/V Specialty store in the Mid 90's I quickly Was turned onto Programming the Control System... Crestron and soon after that PHAST. (Yes, I Was TOrmented by that system and Stayed inthe Industry! WHeres my Medal?)
After that I did mostly Custom Department management and Programming through a couple other companies until i landed at my current Place of Emplyment inthe SOuth Chicago Burbs.....
Here I Program the AMX Control Systems and Help the sales guys with System design whenever possible.
