PepperDash News - A higher level of control
March 2009
Hello, Washington!

We are very excited to announce that we have opened our newest office in Reston, Virginia.  Conveniently located just off the Dulles Toll Road, on Plaza America Drive, we are a short distance to Dulles and downtown Washington. Reston Town Center, the retail, dining and entertainment hub, is just a few blocks away.
 
PepperDash is set to serve the Metro DC community's government, military and commercial AV programming needs. PepperDash's newest office location...Our goal is to staff this region with people who have the skills, experience and clearance to address the unique needs of the neighborhood. To start, our DC office Lead Programmer will be Jason DeVito, who has recently moved to the area from San Antonio. In addition to being charming and personable, Jason has extensive government and military control programming experience, and holds Secret level clearance.
 
PepperDash will continue to offer the same higher level of control and DSP programming services through its DC office that design consultants, integrators, corporations and institutions in New York and Boston have come to expect.  We will also focus on addressing issues of particular concern for government and military consumers and those who service them, such as user interface standardization, energy management, and security.
 
While we have already begun working on projects for a number of agencies and integrators in the area, we recognize that it will take a little time to settle in and get to know folks. As it has been elsewhere, the primary objective of our Partnership Service Commitment will be to deliver an unsurpassed level of quality and service to our partners in the region, and build outstanding long-term relationships.
 
We look forward to working with you in the DC area!
 
-Howard

PepperDash Profile: David Huselid
David Huselid, PepperDash Vice President/COO
Title:Vice President/COO

Tell us about your job:

Frequently, I'm attempting to create some order from chaos.  Occasionally, I'm even successful.

How did you get started in the AV industry / control systems programming?
The Dot com bust led me to taking on random control programming work, which led me to the AV industry.  There are very few people who I've met in this industry whose path made any more sense than that and I credit a good part of this industry's strength to the diversity of its members.

What aspect of your job interests you the most? Why?
The most interesting part of my job is probably trying to answer the question of "What can PepperDash do tomorrow to make it a better company than it is today."  I've always enjoyed working through challenges and have on occasion been described as being 'somewhat' competitive, so having something which I can constantly try to improve works well for me.

What's the most high tech gadget that you own?
That would be a toss-up between my 4 year old cell phone and my alarm clock.

Favorite bar:
My favorite bar is always the one enjoyed in good company.

Describe your dream home theatre:
Whichever one is playing my Minnesota Twins, Vikings, Timberwolves, or Wild winning their respective championships!  ...you did say 'dream' home theater, right?  =)

Best Advice: If you make a mistake, learn from it, correct it, and then move on.  It's one of the best educational opportunities you will have, don't beat yourself up over it, but don't waste it either.
