Today we’d like to introduce you to Joshua Burkmier.
Hi Joshua , so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Founded in 2021, Central A/V and Networking was created with a clear mission: to make high-quality audio, video, and networking solutions accessible to everyone. At a time when reliable technology had become essential for both homes and businesses, the company saw a growing gap between what customers needed and what they could reasonably afford.
From commercial spaces that rely on seamless AV and Network systems to operate efficiently, to residential properties looking for dependable and modern setups, many clients were being priced out of professional services. Central A/V amd Networking was formed to change that—offering expert installation, integration, and support without the premium price tag often associated with the industry.
What sets the company apart is its focus on practical, customized solutions. Rather than pushing one-size-fits-all systems, Central A/V and Networking works closely with each client to understand their space, needs, and budget, delivering systems that are both effective and future-ready.
Since its founding, the company has remained committed to its core values: affordability, reliability, and quality workmanship. As technology continues to evolve, Centra A/V and Networking looks ahead to expanding its services while staying true to its original purpose—helping commercial and residential clients stay connected through smart, accessible AV and networking solutions.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It was most definitely a rocky start. Its very scary leaving a regular “8-5” job where you receive a weekly paycheck. Now you 100% have to go out and hustle. The first year while working a full time job. On my days off I would go to neighborhoods and pass out door hangers, flyers and business cards. I would park and walk for hours handing those hours out all over the county. Covid at that time had a lot of people scared to invite a stranger into their homes. Which i 100% understood that. I lost my mom to covid in September 2020. My son was born December 2020. So my mom never got the chance to meet him.

Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
“Trust.”

Our success comes from being dependable, honest, and clear in our communication—doing what we say we’ll do and standing behind our work long after installation. That trust turns first-time customers into long-term partners.
