Troy Cuvelier, founder and President of iST, admits "As a kid, I was that guy who was messing around with my dad's and friends' stereos. I was always fascinated by audio-video systems and control technology. In college, I even took all of my excess student loan money and spent it on a top of the line A/V receiver and surround sound speaker system, and became instantly addicted." By 1999, Troy started his own business, a D/B/A called "Audio Video By Design," which later morphed into Integrated Smart Technologies, LLC. in 2005 and changed to an S-Corp in 2012. Since that time, iST has grown to include an amazing team of technicians and staff with over 50 years of combined experience in the Consumer Electronics industry.

iST stays up-to-date with the latest innovative technologies on the market. The company attends several trade conferences, training programs and seminars a year and interacts with vendors year-round for insights on new product development.
