The AVA Team

CHUCK DEVRIES

Chuck has owned and operated several businesses. Audio Video Advisors is the culmination of those experiences. As a partner in ‘Dennis-DeVries Builders’ Chuck built custom homes throughout the Upper Valley and Northern New England, giving him a hands-on appreciation of the construction process and the needs and concerns of builders, contractors and architects. Chuck’s love of new technology launched ‘DeVries Digital’ in 1995. He and his team subsequently installed over four thousand mini-dish satellite systems throughout the region.

LEN CALANDRELLA

Len’s background is in the world of Information Technology, as a systems analyst and designer, programmer, and project manager. He has worked with computers all of his life, and has been a music lover since he got his first transistor radio. He gets to combine both of these in his work with Audio Video Advisors, creating exciting systems for our clients. Len is an unapologetic winter lover, spending as much time as possible playing hockey and skiing with his family.

JOHN LOMASNEY

John has been deeply involved with low voltage technology ever since his first job installing security alarms in 2001. Between then and now- John has obtained a number of certifications working with Hi Fidelity Audio, Lutron lighting, home data networking, surveillance cameras and smart home control systems, as well as running his own home theatre company out of Foxboro Massachusetts. In 2013 moved to the Green Mountains for a change in lifestyle and started working for AVA full time.

BRANDON BAUMANN

Brandon graduated college in 2015 with his Bachelors Degree in Audio Engineering, and started with AVA later that same year. His background and technical knowledge of audio was a great foot in the door with the team and he quickly made himself at home. He became well rounded with all things audio, network, lighting & shades, project management and has become our lead programmer for our Lutron systems. When he isn’t programming a comfortable lighting scene, he is probably enjoying the outdoors with his wife, daughter, and dog.

TOM DEVRIES

For decades Tom has been a key player in the New Hampshire seacoast alliance and common ground fair. Between 1998 and 2005 he helped install over 4000 mini-dish satellite systems with his brother Chuck. A master of organization, motivation, and encyclopedic knowledge of residential construction, Tom keeps AVA wiring projects moving along smoothly. 

ADAM SHOREY

Adam recently came aboard the team with a focus on marketing and developing AVA as it continues to grow. Coming from years in the food and beverage industry working to create lasting experiences, he always relishes the opportunity to form new relationships.

DEBBIE HIGGINS

Debbie has been working behind the scenes for 11 years answering the phone, doing AR/AP/Payroll and acting as a liaison with cable, phone and internet providers. Debbie anchors the day to day operations to Audio Video Advisors with her patience and constant upbeat attitude. When not working, Debbie enjoys baking, camping, sampling craft beer, traveling and hanging out with her family and pets.

Zac Clark

Zac started with AVA in 2020 when we were in need of some helping hands. With his electronic oriented hobbies closely aligning with our field of work, Zac took quickly to helping out with programming, setting up networks, and building/managing racks; as well as being hands on with all our prewires and installations.
