What kind of experience does StereoMan have? Trained for electronics in the U.S. Navy, Steve’s electronics career includes ten years in two-way radio, five years in Common Carrier radio (the precursor to cellphones), and one year as electronics technician in a textile mill.

Steve started repairing stereo equipment in 1986, working as an independent contractor for Gibbs Radio Company, Asheville’s oldest audio and video service center. Throughout the 90s and beyond, he continued his independent work, for Audio Service Company, Blue Ridge Electronics, and Mac’s Swannanoa TV, as well as developing a personal clientele for StereoMan.

Steve began working on CD players shortly after they became commercially available. He has repaired thousands of stereo components, installed hundreds of car stereos and home theater systems, and maintains a few commercial Public Address systems as well. He has provided new and used audio and video equipment to scores of satisfied customers.

Why does Stereoman do this work? Steve delights in the mental challenges as well as the craft of repair and installation work, and the pleasure of working in a situation that requires him to listen to music constantly. He derives great satisfaction from knowing that his work is providing lasting enjoyment to his clientele. And just as importantly, Steve takes his environmental stewardship very seriously, making every effort to keep perfectly good equipment out of the landfill.
