About Chad Nichols

I have a vast background of corporate, small business, and entrepreneur roles over the course of my professional career. I have a pasion for engineering solutions that utilize electronic and computer technologies to deliver entertainment, security, energy management, and productivity experiences that are simple to use. I enjoy the customer account management, project management, problem definition, system design, system implementation, and customer service phases of each project opportunity. My current focus is helping homeowners and small businesses understand valuable uses of the continuous stream of software, services, products, and devices coming from the digital consumer electronics, computing, and digital media industries and realizing these in their home and work environments. I accomplish this through a consultative style of a project lifecycle approach using standardized technology categories such as audio/visual, security, automation and control, lighting and energy management, and IT networking during the design phase and working closely with a team of professional integration resources to deliver an end system that balances aesthetics, features, performance, and budget for the customer. I strive to utilize my past experiences, leadership style, business managment, and technical proficiencies to deliver great purchasing experiences for my customers.
