Owner & General Manager
"Hey guys, Jeff Yawney here. Born and Raised in Grande Prairie, I started back in 1999 and at the time I had been looking for my forever career, a place that fulfilled my passion of music. Bruce and Cathy treated me like part of the family and gave David and I the opportunity to purchase the company back in 2015. I love every minute here!"
Owner & General Manager
"Hey folks, David Little here. My family started Echo Sound in 1983 and I've basically been a part of it since the beginning. I officially started in 2002 and had the opportunity to purchase the company with Jeff Yawney from my parents in 2015. It's been a crazy 23 years I'll tell ya, watching all the home audio, car audio and television trends & technologies change has been super cool. I've lived in Grande Prairie my whole life so to be apart of something like Echo and to watch it grow and have a following as big as we do is fantastic."
Lead Technician
Expertise: Custom Fabrication
"Hello Folks! My name is Desmond Bilan, Aka Diggedy, 😁 AKA Shop Dad hahaha! I was born and raised right here in Grande Prairie, at the General hospital. (That's right, I'm that old, lol.) I've always been into stereos and installing and that passion has never changed. Even back in the day, running around with the Echo Sound gull-winged civic bringing home trophies for loudest stereo, all because my best friend just happened to work there. 😁 Shortly after, I started to help Jeff, doing deliveries and home setups, even though I worked at a competitor, lol. Then, in 2002, I was offered a job that changed my life. I was taken in by Bruce, Cathy, and the Echo Sound crew and, right off the bat, treated like family. To this day, I still love working at a true family business where I get to do what I love and work with all the great people here. It has truly been a blessing. Thank you to all the customers that allow me to work on their stuff and then are as excited as I am when I hand it back over, still gives me goosebumps to this day. Can't wait for my next install!"
Sales & Audiophile
Expertise: High Fidelity
"Hey everyone! I'm Corbin, and I've been doing audio professionally for 14 years. I found this passion after being into music and technology my entire life so naturally I had to learn more and more. Im a fairly creative person so having the opportunity of making a blank canvas into my own masterpiece that I know our customers will love has been such a highlight of my life, bringing what I feel music should be too life is another one. 'Music is the one thing you can't touch but it can touch you.' Is one of my favorite sayings. I've built many relationships over the years and I personally could not put a price on that. I'm always learning new things and different ways to approach things and I love that. I could go on forever, this is my passion. And I'm never letting it die."
Home Installer
Expertise: Automation
"Hey Everyone! I'm Bryce, and i've been with Echo AVU since 2007 as the Home Installer. Some of you might recognize me as I've done quite a few houses in Grande Prairie over the years! I started pulling wires years ago with my dad and at an older age I got into carpentry. The two definitely compliment what I do now as no two jobs are the same. Music has always been my biggest passion, I started playing drums in Elementary school and still play till this day. Ive mastered the art of clean wiring and meticulous mounting of TV brackets, speakers and more. Being a part of the Echo Family has been a great honor to be apart of, not to mention the fantastic builds. It's awesome to be in this family business and help people with their homes making their wishes come true! I look forward to more in the future!"
Technician
Expertise: Wiring & Install
"Hi, the names Jonah! I've been wrenching on cars since my very first one: oil changes, wheel bearings, sound systems and even a clutch. My dad always said if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself and so I did. I've been working at Echo for a little over 3 years now and I put the same passion I put into my own cars as I put into the work I do here. I love tuner cars and the culture, so getting to make my own mark on my community's car scene makes me very happy! Thanks everyone!"
Technician
Expertise: Wiring & Install
"Hey there! My name is Mason Stirrett and I’ve recently joined the crew at Echo Audio in January of this year. I have always had a huge interest for anything related with loud music and the audio world. My passion started when I was just a kid, playing an electric set of drums which inevitably lead me to where I am now thrashing sticks and going onto 10 years as a drummer. Once I got a little older, upgrading and attempting to spruce up my stereo in my first truck kick started my love for the truck & car scene here locally in Grande Prairie as well. I have learned so much already, and have had a blast meeting new people and being able to impact others with my job. Being able to see the reactions and the glow people have when they get to enjoy something I’ve had the privilege of working on makes the job even more rewarding. Looking forward to the future here and continuing my journey with my opportunities here at Echo Audio. See you all at the store!"
