About the presenter:
Sven Neer has been involved with the custom home technology integration market for the past 15 years, after 7 years in automotive electronics and service. The first six years of his home experience is having been a product specialist and store manager of a hybrid HiFi retailer, and the last 8 building and / or overhauling design and internal operations departments for many of Houston's larger integration firms. He hopes to directly lend his skills he's honed during this time period to the design build community by offering advice, consulting and budgeting services early on in the process to both help nurture tech-knowledge within this community and helping to ensure that integrator relationships and phase based operations are complementary to the vision and lifestyle design of both the design build professionals and homeowners. We're entering an era where working and schooling from home are about to significantly increase our dependency on home electronics that fit these environments.
