I often find myself struggling to describe our profession in one sentence as most other people can/do.
Most professions can come out with something pretty quick and descriptive and I'm curious to hear how you guys quickly and effectively describe yourselves or our business that does it justice.
Thanks in advance!
Rob.

I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's AV trouble, a man alone. |

I help people distract themselves more effectively, thereby assisting in the general overall decline of society as we know it.

"Oh, nuthin'". Or, I say "A little of this, a little of that".
The daughter of a customer started calling me 'Stereo Jim' when she was 3 years old and it has stuck.

Actually I just say we do home technology. Smart homes, audio/video distribution and remote control systems.

There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions. |
