I became fascinated with audio as a lad and went to work for Pacific Stereo as a part-time salesman while attending college. I've been fortunate to have seen tremendous advancements in the quality, connectivity, and control of audio and video equipment, and control and communication of other residential systems. Moore’s Law is very much alive and well, and history will show that we are now in the most exciting and productive era of technology.
From 1999 through 2009 I was provided the opportunity to represent/manage the Lutron RIS (Residential Interactive Systems) contract. This contract was geared towards the CEDIA type account and over the 10 years of my RIS responsibility I was privileged and gratified to help grow the account base nicely, and see the associated revenue grow more than 10 fold. My past representation of Lutron (and AMX) has allowed me to develop a trust and relationship with the top tier custom retailers, installation companies, and residential systems specifiers in this market. Northern California has traditionally led the way in newly adopted technologies and also has an exceptional group of dealers, designers, and integrators.

Ted entered the residential systems integration and automation industry in 2002 because it appealed to his creativity and interests in technology, and making different systems work together. After starting in the field prewiring houses, he has worn many hats over the course of 20+ years in the industry including: design, security and lighting control programmer, project management, sales, and executive management. While he enjoys good quality audio and video (especially in a home theater environment), his passion remains in the integration and automation aspects of the industry.
Originally from New York City, he has had careers as a professional sailor and in the ski resort industry. He currently lives in Sonoma County with his wife and two kids where he enjoys sailing recreationally, hiking, and target archery (which has taken the place of far too demanding triathlon training).
