Derek Goldstein, 37
Principal and Co-founder, Casaplex
Instead of pushing an AV cart, Goldstein spent his formative years writing code— lots of it. He won a programming contest when he was 13, put together websites for other kids in his neighborhood and co-launched a fantasy sports game while still in high school. His eventual interest in starting an AV firm with business partner Nelson Garcia had less to do with audio or video than it did with smart homes, smart buildings and intuitive systems. CI profiled Goldstein and Casaplex’s success in the October 2016 issue.
