love of music, wearing out the grooves in Elvis
Presley records on his turntable. So, those
two interests led him to get a part-time job
in college at an audio/video retail store in the
Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City, N.Y.
" I worked behind the counter selling Sony
Walkmans. I didn't have any experience in
sales or selling audio/video. They hired me,
they liked my personality, they stuck me right
behind the Walkman counter. One day, I sold
a $39 warranty on a $69 Walkman. They said,
'Wow, you're pretty good at sales.' Within
weeks they had moved me onto the sales
floor selling bigger speakers. "
After a short foray with a sports channel in
the TV business, Wohlleben began working
at Harvey Electronics where he excelled at
selling warranties, he recalls. His first experience
at custom installation handiwork, oddly
enough, was borne from TV picture-in-picture
technology.
" When the first picture-in-picture technology
came out in Mitsubishi tube TVs, nobody
knew how to figure it out because you had to
use a VCR tuner as another source in order to
get the picture-in-picture. It could not have
been more complicated. I knew how to split

out the codex, wire the tuner, take the video
output, go into the back of the Mitsubishi,
and make it work. So people could then
watch a little 5-inch picture in the corner of
their tiny 35-inch TVs. It was useless, it was
gimmicky, " he laughs.
" I set up picture-in-picture for a customer
and charged $100. I thought to myself, 'Wow,
this is a business. I can install stuff and make
money, and it's more money than I'm making
In recent years, Ernie
Wohlleben has transformed
Arhitechnology
Designs from an
AV-centric firm to one
that is proficient in
lighting and electrical.
In January 2023, the
company is planning
to open its new event
center (below) for
hosted evenings and
networking events.
