With over 20 years in the audiovisual industry, Leon Prather has worked extensively in both the technical and creative sides of AV. You can find him writing about topics like product management, entertainment technology news, and whatever geeky notion catches his attention today.

Experienced audio engineer with a long history of working in the live sound environment. From concerts, festivals and corporate events all the way to travel and tourism industry. Now moving into system design, system integration and maintenance.
Started as a roadie in the early 90s pushing boxes and setting up sound systems, then into recording studios in the mid 90s, and finally corporate AV in 2008. Since then I have designed, installed, operated and maintained AV systems in offices, arenas, hotels, churches, pubs, schools and outdoors.
I started on the prewire crew and have done most jobs in the residential AV world. I settled on Crestron Programming and now have an amazing team to work with on some of the largest most complex jobs around. I firmly believe if you are not pushing the boundaries then you are falling behind so place a large emphasis on development.
