Hello there, welcome to our 'blog'. We've tried a few things like this before, including a blog and never quite succeeded, in part because we didn't really have a specific goal. To start with, the goal of this post is to introduce ourselves and help define our initial goal.

So, I'm Mark Helms, I'm ProAudio.com's Operations Manager. I oversee systems and processes and help with management and planning in general. My past includes being a Systems Designer and Project Manager for Professional Audio/Video/Lighting Integrations, as well as various installation roles and even some sales. I also have a background in IT and some computer science, as well as having owned several small businesses. Over the last 5 or so years in this role, this will be the second website overhaul I've overseen.

For those not familiar, ProAudio.com's history is detailed on our history page, but we've been in business under a couple different names (still same company) for over 45 years. Our owner, Mark Bradford, who will likely be contributing some to this, was the first employee aside from the founders. We specialize in sales and support of Professional Audio equipment and have expanded into Professional Video and Lighting equipment as well. We are not a traditional 'Music Store', nor are we a faceless 'dot com'. In general, we work with professional clients to help them achieve their needs and goals for their systems within their budget.

This all brings us back to the 'why' of this blog. Over the years we've watched a lot of different competitors come and go and recently a lot of our competition has become increasingly detached from the customers. We've even fallen into that some with our online and social media presence, but behind the scenes with our customers, we are still a very customer centered responsive sales company. So this blog and hopefully a lot of our social media presence will center on trying to help an average person who has never interacted with us to see who we really are. We don't expect that every person will be our customer, but we want everybody to be able to make an informed decision about partnering with us.

So, if you want to see more of us, be sure to follow us on one or more of our social media platforms, listed below. Thanks for reading!
