Apasionado por la tecnología, los proyectos de alto impacto y la innovación — especialmente cuando conectan con lo que sucede hoy y lo que está por venir en América Latina. Soy Business Development Manager para América Latina en soluciones LED profesionales, con experiencia liderando estrategias comerciales para videowalls y entornos visuales de alta disponibilidad. Conozco a fondo los desafíos técnicos y comerciales del sector ProAV, y me enfoco en ofrecer soluciones que combinan calidad, eficiencia y visión de futuro. Además, me dedico a preservar memorias: lidero un emprendimiento para digitalizar formatos analógicos como VHS, MiniDV, vinilos, fotografías y negativos, ayudando a familias a conservar sus recuerdos de manera segura y accesible en el mundo digital. Creo firmemente en la posibilidad de transformar industrias combinando experiencia técnica, enfoque comercial y un propósito claro. Mi motivación: crear valor real — para clientes, para usuarios finales, para las personas que quieren preservar lo que importa. Si compartes intereses en tecnología LED, transformación digital, digitalización de contenido legado o soluciones audiovisuales para América Latina, me encantaría conectar e intercambiar ideas.

Started my career in the insurance industry, specifically Workers comp. Eleven years ago I answered a call from an old friend I  went to grade school with and he asked me to come help him manage his broadcast cabling company. That old friend is Carl Craver and the company is Viper Cabling Inc.  WE handle everything from small voice and data /AV installs to large broadcast projects.  I took over Carl's  spot on the ITS Council and have been volunteering ever since 2012. I am excited to have been recently elected as the ITS Council chair.   As the new Chair I hope to recruit new members that would like to be a part of our next charity project.
