CE Pro of the Week: Fred Fabian, eLifespaces

Each week, we aim to provide an informative - yet colorful - profile of one of your fellow CE pros.

How would you use Twitter to describe what your company does (140 character limit)?

Intuitive, Invisible, Incredible. We are technology contractors, electronically enriching the spaces where our customers live, work and play.

After you complete a project, what do you think your typical client tells his friend about the experience?

“Call eLifespaces. They’re a one-stop shop for electronics, computers, HDTVs and more. But you really need to check out their integration of Apple products, including control of all your electronics via the iPhone or iPod touch with their own apps.”

What one characteristic sets your company apart from other CE pros?

Licenses and certifications in general contracting, electrical contracting, fire and burglar alarm systems, network engineering and the audio/visual disciplines. Commit yourself and your company to the industries in which you compete and to providing a level of service second to none.

What can CE pros learn from your company to make them think differently and run their business better?

Editor’s note: Fabian wants you to go to eLifespaces’ blog for enlightenment.

What’s the wildest request you’ve ever had for an installation?

We have had many fun (and challenging) project requests, but we can’t talk about them. We all signed nondisclosure agreements regarding these aspects of our business.

What is your 3D strategy and do you think the technology will live up to the hype?

Our plans are to fully understand 3D technically and fulfill any customer’s request. This initial generation can not live up to the hype because of its technical limitations.

What is your absolute favorite piece of audio demo material?

“Hi-Lili Hi-Lo” from Rickie Lee Jones’s album Pop Pop.

What is your absolute favorite piece of video demo material?

Cars, because it is wholesome, it allows adequate time to preface the customer and starts with a good visual and acoustic action set.

What is something most people don't know about you?

I have a love for music and a desire to reconnect the ones to whom I am closest with that same deep appreciation for the art.


As Apple Product Professionals and Apple iPhone Developers, eLifespaces has developed its own iPhone apps including eController.
