Pat Higaki

Patrick Higaki began working in the industry in early 2001. while completing his
education.  After graduating from High School in Vancouver,  he started working full time for Quadrant Systems in Portland Oregon.  At Quadrant, Patrick became familiar with the Niles family of products and Lutron lighting systems.

After two years of training with Quadrant Systems, Patrick was offered a position as a lead technician with Genesis a leading home automation company. He earned national recognition from the CEDIA Electronic Lifestyles Awards Competition.

In February 2006 Patrick decided to leave Genesis when an offer from Stewart Barnett, owner of Interior Audio in Vancouver, Washington; was made.  At Interior Audio Patrick assumed a management position in both project management and installation supervision.  Interior Audio is known nationally as the outfitter for Christensen Shipyards, a world-class manufacturer of high-end yachts.

After much negotiation Patrick resigned with Interior Audio in November, 2006 to start a new life in Silverdale, Washington.  Sprouting from a recommendation from Jim Ribail of Ambassador Marketing, Patrick met with Jim Lee and accepted a position as Project Manager/Lead Technician with Nuts About Hi-Fi.  The rest, is as they say “History”.
