Here’s a little about Jim in his own words:
“I entered the AV industry in 2005 when a good friend of mine, who owned a lighting design studio and a line voltage electrical company in Seattle, he asked if I wanted to consult with a client on the security for his estate in London. At that time, I was a detective with the King County Sheriff’s Office. I was hired for the project and shortly afterward retired from the Sheriff’s Office to start an AV division for my friend’s company.
In 2009, I bought the AV part of the company and rebranded it as HomeTech Europe. I expanded into three US states, four European countries, and the UAE. In 2022, I went to work for Lutron. The opportunity at Josh came along, and I wanted to be part of a young, exciting team that has limitless growth potential.”
