Thank you for the kind congratulations. I should clarify that I’ve used the word retire a bit broadly. While I am indeed relocating to warmer weather, I’m not retiring in the traditional sense—I'm simply stepping back to take time for myself.
Over the past 3½ years, I’ve experienced the profound loss of five of the most important people in my life, each of whom I was with in their final moments. These experiences have deeply impacted me and made it clear that I need time to heal and reflect.
With that in mind, I’ve made the difficult but necessary decision to step away from day-to-day responsibilities at Audio by Van Alstine. Frank's legacy and this company deserve to be led with the energy, passion, and focus that I currently cannot give.
I’m incredibly proud of the new leadership team we’ve put in place. They bring fresh energy and a clear vision that I believe will take AVA to the level it truly deserves. There are exciting things ahead for Audio by Van Alstine, and I look forward to watching and supporting from a different vantage point.
Thank you again for your support during this transition.
