2003 - THE BEGINNING
My journey in Audio/Video and Home
Automation
began in 2003, not behind a desk or in a showroom, but in
the
field—learning how homes are built, wired, and brought to
life. I
entered the industry as a prewire technician and security
alarm
specialist at a respected Houston-based company, gaining
first-hand experience with infrastructure, sequencing, and
the
importance of doing things correctly before the walls
close.
Through years of hands-on work,
discipline,
and continuous learning, I progressed into a seasoned A/V
technician, eventually moving into senior programming,
system
commissioning, and complex integrations. Every step was
earned
through real-world problem-solving and accountability.
AGE 29 - PROJECT
LEADERSHIP
By the age of 29, I stepped into the
responsibility of Project Manager and System Designer,
overseeing
high-end residential projects from concept through
execution. I
managed multidisciplinary teams and delivered bespoke
Audio/Video
and Home Automation systems for public figures, professional
athletes, top-tier executives, prominent legal
professionals, and
successful entrepreneurs, including collaborations connected
to
the Houston Rockets.
2013-2016 - ENTREPRENEURIAL
JOURNEY
After a decade of contributing to the
growth
of my previous employer, I took the entrepreneurial step in
2013
and founded Smart Media Control. In 2016, I established
MODMEDIA
SYSTEMS—a boutique, concierge-level integration firm
intentionally built around excellence, integrity, and
disciplined
execution rather than volume or trends.
MODMEDIA SYSTEMS exists to design and
integrate technology that aligns with how people actually
live.
Our work spans high-performance Audio/Video environments,
sophisticated home automation, architectural lighting and
shading, networking, and control systems engineered to
perform
reliably for years—not just impress on installation day.
