Alan Geer is the Owner and President of one of the most competent and professional AV Manufacturer Rep firms in our business. As an AV Engineer in his backyard of SoCal for many years, Audio Geer is one of the few rep firms I’d actually trust for technical guidance. Shure and QSC are (2) of their biggest brands, and I would routinely call Audio Geer for design (or even commissioning) help because I knew they had the best blend of technical chops and real-world experience. Listen in on our conversation to get a peek into the personality and mindset behind such a great company.
