Alex Beitzel graduated from Susquenita High School in 2008 and has been invested in growing his business as well as career since then! Alex Beitzel founded A2B Sound in 2009 and began providing audio services for all applications. In 2020, the business was rebranded to A2B Media and was expanded to offer solutions for audio, video, lighting, broadcast and control systems. With this move, the company became a full service “one stop shop” for all things in the A/V world. In the time this business has been around, A2B has had the opportunity to serve a variety of clientele in a variety of capacities. At the current time, the majority of clientele is the house of worship/church community as A2B Media has an extensive knowledge of some of the niche items involved with the house of worship setting. Also at the moment, A2B Media provides full audio, video and lighting production for live events as well as permanent installations in venues and churches. The business has grown steadily over the years and in the past two years has started to see even higher growth with reach and job size capacity. A2B Media is active on most social media platforms showcasing all of the projects they are involved with. You can contact Alex or A2B Media on the website www.a2bpro.media or by emailing info@a2bpro.media
Alex Beitzel is married, but no kids at the moment except for a pair of cats. While attending Susquenita High School, he was very active in the musical department as well as the A/V club which have both parlayed into his full time career, as both of these items are common practice from day to day. Alex also serves at Christian Life Assembly in their technical director role, where he oversees all things involving audio, video and lighting while also being the primary audio technician for all services and productions. When not working either for the company or the church, he can typically be found on his MacBook, recording an episode of his racing podcast, at a NASCAR race or at the golf course.
