There are plenty of companies who sell cool technology, and many of them even have experienced and technically competent staff.  But for clients that engage HC2, that's simply not enough.

What makes HC2 different is the high-touch service we are known for. We carefully listen to your needs to ensure we meet and often exceed your expectations.  Finally, we treat you the way we would want to be treated.

There are 18 years of notable history with Ted in Fortune 500 corporate environments where he lead teams of technical staff through a maze of business needs and priorities. A coach oriented management style helped Ted and his teams distill wish lists down to defined business systems requirements, then deliver solutions that contributed to mult-million dollar successes.

We always ask our client’s to identify their three biggest challenges. We do this to get them to think out-side the box, to focus on their "true needs/challenges", instead of purely on what they think their traditional technology needs are. What's often uncovered from this process are ways in which we can help our clients, ultimately building rapport and trust. It’s all about listening.”

 
Chad’s technical journey began in the 90’s fitting luxury yachts with high quality music, video, lighting and control systems.  The challenges of the unforgiving marine environment prepared Chad for just about anything.

Marine vessels leave little room to work and little room for errors.  With weight restrictions, highly humid and corrosive/salty conditions, constant high temperatures, and relentless vibration of pounding waves, its a sure way to make or break a technology architect's reputation for bullet-proof design & installation of entertainment systems.

After working around the country on some of the most exciting home theater and automation projects anywhere, Chad decided to move to an area which allowed him to easily service clients around the country but also offered a great family-oriented lifestyle, thus Richmond, VA is where he now calls home.

At HC2, he continues to push the envelope in the luxury audio, video & automation systems design and deployment while also being able to focus on family.
