The Gibsons are excited to be a part of the local business community and they enjoy teaming up with designers and contractors to create bespoke AV solutions. “We are the fun part of home design,” says Harris Gibson, “and it’s a niche business. There aren’t a lot of AV specialists here. Choosing a local consul- tant means continuity of service. If you need assistance post installation, we are here on the peninsula to meet your needs.” For more information, call 831/645-9900 or visit www.axiomhometech.com .
