the audio analyst^©

Over the past three decades, I have consulted on and installed a wide variety of audio and video systems. My work with 12 volt systems in automobiles ranges from drop in replacement systems to those having over 20 separate speakers. Some of those mobile audio systems have been recognized for their outstanding musical performance by winning IASCA sanctioned Car Audio competitions, in numerous classes, at Regional and National events.

I have built dedicated listening rooms and home theaters for many homes and have created sound systems and theaters for a variety of businesses as well. Because of my passion for fitness, I have installed systems in gyms, fitness centers, strength training facilities and martial art's dojo's. Not the least noteworthy of this group was the music system I installed for Joe Paterno's Nittany Lion football team in their strength training facility at the Penn State University.

My fascination with cables of all varieties led to my being hired as the Consulting Design Team Leader at Harmonic Technology, where my efforts produced the Magic™ line of products.

The list of listening spaces I have designed and executed includes the home of Tasso Katselas, Pittsburgh's leading modern Architect and designer of the Greater International Pittsburgh airport. I have installed theaters with sloped floors, velvet theater seats, mechanized curtains and screens, motorized projector housings; even some which have a "Box Office," right down to the pop corn machines, soda dispensers and candy counters! I have built nightclub's (Hooligan's in Central Pennsylvania) and have installed sound in fitness environments as diverse as Olympus Health and Fitness centers in Waldorf and Lexington Park, Maryland to a YMCA in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. My own speaker designs, as well as overall installations, are present in many public spaces in central Pennsylvania, ranging from small pubs to large dance clubs.

But by far, my most rewarding work is developing an intimate two channel space for a music lover or a home theater for a true movie buff. My method, proven over some 30 years now, is to listen to your honest needs. Then, using your realistic budget, we can build a system together that takes your breath away and leaves you emotionally charged and eager for the next record, disc or film.
