The most important part of technology is the people who make it work. The Contract Video Specialists, Inc. staff is a group of dedicated, professional people...many of whom have over a decade of service with the company.  We look forward to collaborating with you to help you achieve your project goals.

 John Fleetwood, President

Beginning in high school, John repaired neighbor's TV sets in his parent's basement. He's been involved in the field since before "television" became "video".  John has always been interested in magnetic recording, and worked in that field in the federal government for a number of years. He became involved in video in 1972 as the manager of an industrial studio. There, he worked on both sides of the camera (but much prefers technical work these days).  He is Navy trained in electronics, attended the RTVF program at the University of Maryland, where he later was the chief engineer of the department, worked for several years at a local system integration firm, and then founded Contract Video Specialists, Inc. in 1985.  He's been at it for over 30 years, but who's counting?  John is a member of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, the Society of Cable Television Engineers, the Society of Broadcast Engineers, and a Certified AMX ACE Installer.

 Jonathan Einarsen, Engineer

Over the years, Jonathan has pursued several areas of specialty within the company. He has staffed the repair shop as a bench technician, has serves as a team member on large system installations, and presently designs broadcast, public access, and performance venue systems. In addition to his accomplishments at Contract Video Specialists, Inc., Jonathan has also served as staff engineer for NBC News Source in Washington D.C.

 Harvey Everett, Engineer

Harvey has been lending his unique talent to systems integration in Washington for the past 30 years. It would be hard to imagine a government agency or private corporation where Harvey has NOT installed a video facility at some time in the past!  His work can be seen at ball parks, football stadiums, aquariums, in remote trucks, training facilities, government agencies, broadcast facilities...you name it and Harvey has built it. His craftsmanship is second to none. Harvey is a Certified AMX ACE Designer.

Scott is a musician, has produced several CDs for his band, performs in a local theater group, and has worked on several independent films.
