Travis Stewart has been fascinated by sound and technology since his first concert sparked a curiosity about what was happening behind the scenes. That early interest turned into a career built from the ground up, beginning in live event production and permanent AV installations, where he advanced from cable puller to project manager before moving into system design.

As Director of AV Services, Travis leads the firm’s dedicated audiovisual team, providing assessment, design, and commissioning services that integrate with mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and technology systems. His hands-on field experience shapes the way he approaches design. He understands how systems are installed, coordinated, and maintained, and he brings that practical perspective into every project.

Travis thrives on the complexity of AV systems, which often require blending products from multiple manufacturers into a seamless user experience. He works closely with clients to balance performance, flexibility, and budget, focusing on the people who will use and support the system long after construction is complete.

What motivates him most is seeing a project move from a 3D model to a finished space. For Travis, the reward is knowing the systems he helped design are connecting people to their environments in meaningful ways.
