Who We Are

Graham Hickerson has always been interested in electronics, and video. He created his first custom video installation at the age of 12, when he installed cable TV in his tree house. Graham never forgot the sense of accomplishment he felt when he leaned back in his tree house, and surfed the channels on his cable TV. 

Graham grew up, and found success in several business ventures, but when the ever-increasing popularity of Home Theater systems created opportunities for people who were willing to work hard, and master the new technologies, he saw an opportunity to build a high-quality Integrator company. Graham Hickerson and Tim Stinson took the plunge, and founded Sound + Image.  

Graham wants potential clients to know that higher-quality alternatives exist to equipment sold by the “big-box” stores.  He hopes people will give Sound + Image a chance to show them what a wonderful investment a high-quality, professionally installed Home Theater system can be.

Tim Stinson got into the Audio business when he was a teenager. His love of music, and the equipment designed to reproduce it, drew him to a local stereo shop. He spent so much time in the shop that the owner finally gave him a job as a salesman. Two decades later, Tim is still in the field, and his enthusiasm remains undimmed. 

What Tim enjoys most is helping clients decide what kind of installations will best fit their needs, finding them the components that provide the best value for the money, and then seeing that those components are installed properly. 

Tim’s long-range goals for Sound + Image are to continue building a satisfied, loyal clientele. He knows that if Sound + Image provides customers with higher-quality products than those found in mass-market chain stores, and has highly trained personnel execute carefully planned installations, Sound and Image will continue to thrive. He knows that a growing group of satisfied customers is a company’s most valuable resource, and the best guarantee a business can have of a “sound” future
