Technology is
what I do.

IT, AV, networks, and the systems that connect them.

Where my time goes

What I Actually Do

01

IT & Systems

I support hundreds of devices across schools, churches, homes, and businesses — Intune, Google Workspace, MSP platforms, deployments, troubleshooting, and day-to-day support. I also manage UniFi environments across multiple locations, mostly in New York, with client sites in Arizona, Atlanta, and Wisconsin.

02

AV

I’m a live audio engineer and AV integrator — designing sound, video, and control systems for churches, auditoriums, and commercial spaces. I start with the room and the people using it, then build the system around that.

03

Networks & Connected Systems

Networking ties almost everything together now. Wi-Fi, switching, structured cabling, IP cameras, VoIP, Dante, NDI, and AV-over-IP all end up sharing the same backbone.

04

Smart Technology

Full control and automation systems — URC, Control4, Crestron, Lutron RA3, motorized shades, lighting, Alexa, Google Home. Anyone can add a smart device. Getting them to actually work together as one system is the real job.

I do everything tech. Literally. And if I don’t do it, I know who to call.

About B

My name is Brian, but most people just know me as B.

I’m a New York technology professional working across IT, AV, networking, integration, and smart technology. My background spans education technology and commercial integration, so I’m just as comfortable supporting people as I am working hands-on with the equipment.

I also own Grade A Technology Services, where I take on larger technology projects throughout the NYC metro area.

Off the Clock

When I’m not working on tech, I’m usually traveling, finding good food, spending time with family and friends, or getting into whatever new interest caught my attention.

The professional side

And then there’s the business side.

I own and operate Grade A Technology Services for larger AV, IT, networking, low-voltage, surveillance, and smart-technology projects throughout the NYC metro area.
