Aaron Gutin from Access Networks is my vote for CE Pro Person of the Year.  He and his company have brought our industry to a higher standard in networking design and implementation.  No other company is changing the way that control systems are deployed as Access has and continues to do.

I’d like to nominate Aaron Gutin from Access Networks.  Aaron is leading the Access Networks charge in the Enterprise grade networking space. These solutions have turned the IT portion of dealers job from a headache to a profit center that ensures the reliability of their automation deployment.

Johnny Mota has been hugely influential in bringing social media awareness to our industry. He easily illustrates all the reasons that social media is so beneficial to those within the AV industry.

Hands down, person of the year should be Johnny Mota - he’s my AV guru, and his Facebook posts are the reason I know anything at all about the industry!

Go get ‘em, JMOTA3! (sorry, fellow #avtweeps, it’s not a popularity contest, but you’ve certainly inspired us to do a story on him).

Who would be your SECOND choice for someone that has disrupted the entire CE industry?

Thanks for your interest!

I’d also like to nominate Johnny Mota.  Having worked directly with him, I know that he is extremely professional, insightful and passionate about his career in system integration as well as his involvement in social media within the industry.  He has certainly paved the way for a strong and vibrant social media presence in the AV community.
