Kahuna". Leon has been involved with many businesses throughout his
illustrious career. In fact, high-end audio (or any audio) was

Leon possesses the sharpest business acumen in this industry. He has
built Evolution from a small one man operation to a multi-million
dollar business within a very short period of time. He is highly respected by all
manufacturers and industry representatives. Leon has achieved his
success by being fair, honest, and above all, ensuring customer

Jay Frank
Jay was one of
the first proponents of multi-channel surround sound during the
early Seventies. After writing numerous articles on quadraphonic
sound, he boldly predicted that multi-channel audio would someday be
used with video for in-home use. Evolution was first conceived
during these early years and garnered many members from around the
globe. He pioneered the first laserdisc video store that specialized
in high-end sound and front screen projection systems.
When he's not at work (and sometimes when he is), Jay enjoys
running. He has participated in numerous events from 5k's to full
Marathons.
