Complex systems. Seamless experiences.
David Shriver, CTS-D, CTS-I, has spent 30-plus years in AV and live production, from mixing shows to leading a division. He writes about audio, AV systems, and the people who build them, and each piece starts from something that happened on a job site, at a console, or in a meeting.
David Shriver is a Division Manager in Houston for Ford Audio Video Systems.
