My partner and I incorporated NTI in January 2009 as a 2-person company, providing design and installation of custom audio visual (AV) systems and solutions for a primarily residential pool of clients. Over 9 years in business, we have more than quintupled in size and expanded our repertoire of services to include networking, security, and access control with a transition in clientele towards commercial sites, larger institutions and government facilities. This impressive growth was achieved through client referrals and networking. My role at NTI has allowed me to develop and hone business, leadership, customer service, and sales skills that have been crucial in my professional career.
