In Memoriam
InfoComm International® mourns the passing of Ed Matthews, Chairman and Founder of Visix.
Matthews was a longtime respected member of the AV industry and a generous contributor to InfoComm
programs. He took part in committees that developed the original CTS-D and CTS-I curricula. A Navy
veteran, Matthews started in engineering sales in 1967, according to a
statement from Visix,
then worked on systems for various Olympic games before founding Visix in 2006. "Ed Matthews helped
make the professional AV industry what it is today through his dedication to certification and training,"
said David Labuskes, CTS, RCDD, InfoComm Executive Director and CEO. "Our thoughts are with his
family and everyone at Visix. He will be missed." |
