CCS Presentation Systems and Lifestyle Technology Group, LLC of Newport Beach, Calif. have announced a newly established strategic partnership that will provide architects, interior designers, luxury home builders and home owners full-service design and building capabilities to Arizona and California markets. This technology collaboration will offer consumers convenient access to industry talent and experience to the custom home and luxury lifestyle marketplace.

“With Lifestyle Technology Group’s technology expertise and CCS Presentation Systems’ geographic presence and massive resources, we’re able to deliver and support our customers at a higher level than what they may be used to,” said Dave Sell, President of Lifestyle Technology Group. “Our business and personal relationships with CCS founder, John Godbout and CCS California CEO, David Riberi go back years and are based on trust and integrity. We knew we’ve partnered with the right people and company.”

Both Sell and business partner Eric Stanley are veterans of the industry and former Crestron executives. At Crestron, Sell oversaw all sales and technical operations in the Western region and Stanley managed a technical team of over 30 support agents. With more than 20 years of experience each, their knowledge and skill working on high-end custom homes goes wide and deep. “Out of necessity, we were always very involved in these projects assisting the integrator in some manner, be it system design, installation, programming or commissioning,” Sell said. “We know we can do it better. We have absolute command of the products and solutions Crestron provides. No one else in our market can make that claim and back it up.”

“We’re excited to enter into the custom luxury home marketplace. With nearly 25 years of experience in commercial audio visual systems integration, CCS is ready to bring our expertise as an industry leader to the focused markets of Arizona and California,” said CCS Presentation Systems Chief Executive Officer John Godbout. “CCS has expanded operations to include project managers, design engineers and integration specialists dedicated solely to home automation customers. We are all in and thrilled to now be able to provide residential customers the specialized services their homes deserve.”
