Draper and Motors – A Love StoryWhen was the last time someone said, “Man, Draper is a great motor company.” Spoiler alert: Never?
That’s because you think of their projection screens, dvLED wall mounting structures, shades, etc. But
think about it. How does the projection screen drop? How does the basketball backboard come down
in the gym? How does the shade drop with the push of a button? And how does the projector
MAGICALLY come down from the ceiling? MOTORS! |
|
|
|
We get so caught up in the material and finish of the Draper product line, that we forget that they have
a motor running reliably, quietly, and constantly in thousands of indoor spaces. Right now!
For more information about projection lifts and the options Draper has, please visit their lift comparison
page HERE.
On another note of equal or lesser importance, have you ever wondered why Sister Christian was
“motorin”? Me too! Well, it turns out that it was a reference to Night Ranger lead singer Kelly Keagy’s
younger sister, Christy. Apparently, in her teenage years she and her friends would drive around, or
motor around, the streets of Eugene, OR. Hence, motoring. You’re welcome.

Yes! We continue to add awesomeness! Please welcome our newest, bravest, and most hygienic programming folks, Romeo Garcia and Dustin Gay! |
|

Both Gay and Garcia have a background in audio engineering, and while Gay has a bachelor’s in
computer science, Garcia is currently finishing his at Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) in Tacoma, Wash.
Gay entered The Farm through an online job application, while Garcia fast-tracked through his contacts
at PLU – where he initially became with familiar with Q-SYS on campus.
Gay is set on the track to become a Q-SYS programmer and field engineer in the PNW, while Garcia is
specializing in the development of Q-SYS plugins. Each is going through a similar training pathway within
The Farm.
The Farm takes a three-prong approach to training fresh FarmAssist programmers: mentorship,
specialized training and onsite deployment and commissioning. Gay and Garcia were paired up with mentors – in Gay’s case a local Seattle-based Regional Services
Engineer named Sean Murphy, and for Garcia, remote-based plugin, UCI and application developer,
Aaron Hood. Each mentor offers guidance, fields questions and offers feedback and support.
Their fieldwork has already begun and they are ready for more. That’s good because there is plenty to
do. Welcome to the team, Romeo and Dustin! READ MORE HERE!
