Brian began his career in the audiovisual industry 30 years ago with Photo & Sound Company Headquartered in San Francisco, initially in the Rental & Staging Division, and was elevated to Sales in the San Jose office. In 1986 he became the Northwest Region Sales Manager for General Electric Projection Display Products Operation, a pioneer in the large venue/high brightness video projection marketplace. Among his many successes there was the groundbreaking relationship he developed with the concert production team of Bill Graham Presents. Brian convinced renowned concert promoter Bill Graham to permanently install GE’s Light Valve projectors at their soon to open concert showcase Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA. Next, Brian moved to a local Distribution Account Manager position for Sony Corporation, handling their broad line of not only projection and display products, but also production equipment. Later, he served as Vice President of Sales for Projection Systems, Inc. in Foster City; CA, an AV Systems integration house. Brian started AV Integrators out of a perceived need to provide clients with improved system design and installation services and, more importantly, superior after-sales support. Brian earned a BA in Journalism/TV news production with a minor emphasis in Advertising/Public Relations from San Diego State University.
