Jeremy Burkhardt

Founder - Origin Acoustics

Jim has worked for some stiff type companies that were very corporate. Though I don't envy the great job he has done in these environments, I do envy his ability to adapt, stay true to the belief that relationships and networking are great tools to business success. I trust Jim and believe that many of the companies he worked for would not have achieved their level of success without his valuable contributions. I look forward to hopefully working with Jim in the future.

I have now known Jim for more than 10 years, and I can honestly say that I do not know anyone with more enthusiasm and energy. Jim is also amazing with people. He seems to know everyone, and everyone seems to know him. He has a keen ability to "infect" others with his enthusiasm which has proven to be very valuable at Control4.
