These brothers serve as the ideal duo to take the company started by their father Chris in 1984 to the next level as he transitions out of day-to-day operations.

Luke earned AVIXA’s Young AV Professional award in 2018 and was named the association’s CTS holder of the year in 2016. He has served as AVIXA’s national chairman of systems integrators.

Sam, drawing on his experience as a U.S. Air Force captain, focused on improving the operational aspects at Electro Acoustics upon his return home, developing a leadership team at EA consisting of engineering manager, sales manager, operations manager and service manager. He developed a weekly scorecard for each department, weekly leadership team meeting and several one-day offsite sessions.
