While
working as the Manager for a local electronics firm, Jim realized
the need for true custom design and total system installation,
as opposed to simply “selling boxes.” Jim founded
Audio Video Installations in 1986, focusing his passion on delivering
premium, totally integrated, and unique electronic designs.
During the next several years, Jim expanded the company to include
the addition of security and phone systems, and later, structured
wiring, network solutions, systems integration and control systems.
Jim
remains AVI’s primary system designer-engineer and systems
programmer. He is also the technical advisor on all projects.
His hands-on approach to site visits and project management
keeps AVI projects carefully crafted, networked,
and completed as promised.
Jim enjoys
being involved with NARI, a local remodelers’ association
