LAS VEGAS, NV, March 20, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jeremy Degre has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Mr. Degre has established himself as a leading authority in luxury smart home automation and custom integration, currently serving as chief executive officer of Elite A/V | Smart Home & Automation Integration in Las Vegas, Nevada, since 2013. In this role, he oversees company operations, strategic growth, brand development and high-level client engagement, while also leading acquisitions and expanding the company's presence within the residential technology sector. His expertise spans high-performance home theater systems, advanced security and surveillance, and fully integrated smart home environments designed for discerning clientele.
Under Mr. Degre's leadership, Elite A/V has earned a reputation for precision-driven installations, thoughtful system design and a client-first approach rooted in long-term performance and reliability. He remains actively involved in both technical execution and business strategy, ensuring that every project reflects the company's standards of quality and accountability. In addition, he is committed to developing internal talent, mentoring a growing team of technicians and project managers while promoting ongoing industry education and professional development.
Mr. Degre developed an early passion for audio and video technology long before entering the professional field. As a teenager, he immersed himself in both car audio and home audio systems, often working alongside older peers on vehicle installations while independently building high-performance systems of his own. By his mid-teens, he had assembled a sophisticated home audio setup—sourcing components through catalog orders such as Crutchfield at a time when online purchasing was not yet widely available—demonstrating a strong commitment to understanding sound quality, system design and performance.
Mr. Degre formally entered the industry in 1998 with Ultimate Electronics in Las Vegas, beginning in the mobile electronics division before quickly advancing into home theater. Within approximately one year, he rose to installation foreman, ultimately overseeing both car audio and home theater installation divisions across multiple locations. In this leadership role, he managed field operations, directed installation teams and upheld quality standards across a wide range of residential and commercial projects during a period of significant market demand.
Following the company's closure during the late-2000s housing recession, Mr. Degre established a sole proprietorship, Audio Video Specialist, through which he continued delivering custom home theater and integration services while expanding his expertise in business operations, client management and project execution. This transition marked a pivotal shift from technical specialist to business owner and ultimately led to the founding of Elite A/V, where he formalized a scalable business model built on quality, education and long-term client relationships.
Throughout his career, Mr. Degre has distinguished himself through self-directed education and continuous professional development. He holds extensive CEDIA certifications across multiple disciplines, along with certifications from THX, ISF and HAA, and has completed advanced training in system design, installation and residential network integration. He was also selected to serve on a CEDIA advisory board supporting training and education initiatives, reflecting his commitment to advancing industry standards and professional development.
Mr. Degre's industry recognition includes the Pinnacle Award from Control4 and ADI Global, Top Seller Representative honors from Samsung, and the Certified Showroom Award from Control4 and ADI Global. These distinctions reflect both technical expertise and consistent performance within a highly competitive market.
Beyond his professional work, Mr. Degre is committed to community engagement and mentorship. He provides technical assistance to underserved individuals, supports clients with specialized needs and fosters a culture of knowledge-sharing within his organization. His leadership philosophy emphasizes integrity, accountability and long-term client relationships over short-term gain.
Looking ahead, Mr. Degre plans to expand Elite A/V into additional markets, with consideration given to regions such as St. George, Utah and San Diego, California. He is also developing a scalable growth model designed to preserve the company's standards of quality, education and service as it evolves.
Mr. Degre is the father of one son. In his personal time, he enjoys collecting and maintaining classic automobiles and staying engaged with emerging technologies.
