I have been doing car audio for about 14 years, I am very into the industry and love to educate customers and friends about proper audio setups.
In Durango, Colorado, I was able to bring Axxis Audio from a small store to one of the top sales in the region, adding lines like ARC Audio, Hybrid Audio & Morel. I was able to bring in knowledgeable training programs into the shop for the installers.
I was able to reproduce this at Audio Adrenaline in Prescott Valley, Arizona. This allowed me to start hosting audio events (IASCA and MECA) and educate the customers on the difference between high-quality installations and basic installations, leading to a higher percentage of return customers, with more of the customers upgrading the audio systems to achieve higher sound quality.
In 2010, I was nominated by my industry peers and Mobile Electronics Magazine as one of the United States’ Top 100 installers. I ended up in the Top 20, and Audio Adrenaline was also listed as one of the top 50 single-store retailers of that year. I moved to Las Vegas to help Jon Webb at Performance Audio Las Vegas, and I was able to increase the amount of foot traffic by networking with local car enthusiasts at local shows and meets, plus larger events like Severed Ties “Last Call” Show, Import Face-Off, Formula Drift and much more. I was able to assist Jon Webb and Performance Audio in setting record sales for the store and in receiving nation-wide recognition for top quality installations. Jon was awarded installer of the year and Performance Audio was in the Top 10 Single store retailers in the USA!
I have worked on (3) SEMA cars, ARC Audio 2009, Centerforce Clutches 2010, Arc Audio 2011. I have also assisted manufacturers at events, Arc Audio 2009 SEMA Show, Hybrid Audio Technologies CES and Spring Break Nationals 2011, Hybrid Audio CES 2012.
