Congrats on your business and also on the way to becoming a new dad! Tell us a little bit about your family.
Thank you! This is indeed an exhilarating phase in our lives, filled with both personal joy and professional growth. My wife and I first crossed paths over a decade ago at our previous job, where we quickly developed a close friendship. On my last day, she left me a heartfelt note, which not only wished me luck but also included instructions to stay in touch via a messaging app. That note, now framed and taking pride of place on our living room bookcase, has become a cherished keepsake as we’ve built our lives together. Fast forward ten years, and here we are, settled in Maplewood since August 2020, in the home of our dreams, eagerly anticipating the arrival of our twins — a boy and a girl — this December. It’s our personal “two-for-one special,” a term I fondly use for this double blessing on the way.
We love “Local” businesses and our community supporting them. Why was it important to you to locate your company in the community?
Locating AV Luxury Design in the heart of our community was a choice close to my heart. Inspired by the welcoming spirit of the classic TV show “Cheers,” I value a business environment where relationships are nurtured, and every client’s name and story are known. Our shared interests and strong community bonds form the perfect foundation for such connections. Moreover, being local means more than just business; it allows me to be there for the significant moments in my children’s lives, from walking them to school to cheering them on at after-school activities. It’s about creating a work-life balance that serves both my family and my clients.
Describe what your company does.
AV Luxury Design specializes in integrating sophisticated home automation solutions that enhance the comfort and luxury of your living spaces. Our services include the installation of automated shades, advanced WiFi networks, comprehensive lighting and lighting control systems, immersive whole-home audio, and state-of-the-art home theaters. We also extend our expertise outdoors, offering audio systems and lighting solutions that transform gardens and patios into enchanting retreats.
You have vast experience in the tech sector and in the audiovisual space. Can you provide a bit of perspective on how “smart” homes continue to evolve? Why do these homes need your technology?
In my two-plus decades in the technology space, I’ve witnessed smart homes evolve from rudimentary automation to sophisticated ecosystems that cater to our every need. Consider this: you’re settling into bed, and with a single press of the ‘Goodnight’ button on your nightstand, a symphony of activity unfolds — your home responds like a well-conducted orchestra. The thermostat dials down to a cool 67 degrees — my personal favorite for a restful sleep — the shades draw closed, securing your privacy, the garage ensures your vehicles are safely enclosed, the fireplace dims to a gentle halt, all doors lock bolstering your security, and the lights throughout your home soften to darkness. Meanwhile, a gentle lullaby begins to play, serenading the little ones in the next room into dreamland.
This is the reality of modern smart homes, and it’s exactly what we bring to life at AV Luxury Design. Our technology is not just about convenience; it’s about creating moments, enhancing safety, and personalizing your living space to respond to your unique lifestyle. As smart homes continue to evolve, we stay ahead, ensuring our clients’ homes are equipped with the latest innovations that speak to both their needs and desires.
What is one thing your business does better than the competition? What can the clients expect when they hire you?
At AV Luxury Design, exceptional customer service isn’t just a goal — it’s the essence of our approach. We pride ourselves on our consultative method, taking the time to listen and understand the unique aspects of each home. This allows us to tailor solutions that complement the individual character of each space, ensuring that technology enhances rather than intrudes. Our commitment to customization sets us apart, ensuring that each client’s experience is as unique as their home.

As a local business owner, how can others learn from your commitment and inspiration?
My commitment to AV Luxury Design is rooted in the same community spirit that lights up Maplewood. It’s about fostering relationships and contributing to our collective well-being. As a business owner, my advice to anyone is to find that intersection where passion meets purpose within your community. Be present, be willing to listen, and always strive to serve — not just as a business, but as a neighbor.
Anything we missed?
In the spirit of community and collaboration, I am always on the lookout for partnerships with other local professionals. Mentorship and support were pivotal in my journey, and I am eager to pay it forward. If you’re a local business looking to explore synergies, I’d be delighted to connect and see how we can uplift each other.
