Clint C. Tabor
I have been involved in the Audio Visual Industry for over 17 years. Working my way up through the ranks, I have experienced the A/V industry from all different sides from operations to sales to management. The thing I like most about A/V is the different types of clients we get to work with.
I reside in Gilbert Arizona with my wife, Susan and children Zach and Haley. I enjoy spending time with my family, a round of golf and all types of music.

Ed Nevins
Ed grew up in the Chicago suburbs (Naperville IL till high school, and then his family moved to Libertyville IL for his high school and college years). He attended Illinois State University where he graduated with Marketing and Management degrees in 1987. Shortly after graduating, Ed decided he had his fill of shoveling snow and the cold Chicago winters so he moved to Phoenix in 1989. His parents still live in Chicago. They enjoy visiting Ed during Phoenix's mild winter months. Ed splits his year between his two favorite hobbies; waterskiing/boating in the hot summer months and Harley Davidson motorcycle riding during the mild Arizona winter.
Ed has 20 years of Customer Service, Sales, Marketing, and Management experience with several Fortune 500 companies. After twenty years of working in large corporate environments, Ed is excited about taking his skills and experiences and applying them with SWAV. His strong customer service skills along with his sales and marketing experience will make Ed an invaluable resource for SWAVs' continued growth and customer satisfaction focus.
