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 and Ultra-Marathons.
