LEADERSHIP
Experienced Leadership for Complex Technology Environments
The poeple behind Pro AVL bring decades of experience in professional audio, video, lighting, control, rigging, and systems integration.
Our leadership team includes industry professionals who have worked with respected integrators, collaborated across major venue and entertainment projects, and helped deliver technology systems for environments where performance and reliability are essential.
A Team With Deep Industry Roots
Pro AVL is led by a team of professionals with more than 125 years of combined experience across the professional AV, live entertainment, sports venue, hospitality, house of worship, corporate, and large-scale systems integration markets.
Many members of the Pro AVL team have worked together before, including on iconic projects delivered through Pro Sound & Video, the company founded by Rod Sintow. That shared history gives the team a practical understanding of how complex projects move from concept to completion, and what it takes to deliver systems that perform in the real world.
Today, that experience informs the way Pro AVL plans, coordinates, installs, commissions, and supports technology systems for clients who depend on precision, reliability, and accountability.
