Dana Vannatta Owner, President
Hometown: Carmel, Indiana
Long before Dana received a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Indiana State, he began his love of music and sound equipment. His educational background enhances his natural love for the Audio-Video industry. With over eighteen years in the custom Audio-Video industry, Dana has worked for several other companies so when he started Specialty Electronics in February of 2002, he knew exactly how he didn’t want to do business. His experiences confirmed that the only way to have a successful company was to concentrate on the client, and customer service. Each system he designs and sells is unique to that client, and since every person is unique that only makes sense. |
