My name is Steve Janz and I run a Home Theater and Home Automation Installation company called Technospeak. We have been in business for 10 years and counting and have installed millions of dollars of Home Theater and Home Automation equipment over the years. I am lucky enough to love what I do for a living and like helping others where we can. I am also a big believer in a life-long education which is why I started this blog. Our goal is always to provide Electronics Solutions for our clients and I felt this was just another way to do so. Thanks for taking the time to listen to this Podcast!!
