How It All Started

From Car Stereos to Whole-Home Systems

Bryan Talkie (yep, he really talks tech) started at Circuit City in 1999, learning the ropes in car stereo installs and clean wiring. By 2005, he was working at Tweeter Home Entertainment, diving deep into home theaters and smart systems. When the economy crashed in 2008, the calls kept coming, and in 2010, MY GUYS KNOW HOW was born.

Since then, Bryan has added Cisco certifications, hired a sharp team, and built a business based on clean installs, reliable systems, and straight-up good service. Whether we’re building from scratch or fixing someone else’s mess, we’re here to make your smart home actually smart.
