Jeanie Wohlers The Head Motherducker.
Jeanie has over 28 years’ experience in residential and commercial systems contracting. Upon becoming a licensed contractor in 1997, Jeanie launched what would become a successful custom AV integration company in rural Minnesota. With her business, Jeanie helped introduce “custom installation” to the area. Jeanie recalls “I had to help clients overcome the belief their electricians would run all the right wires!” Committed to staying close to the working end of the business Jeanie continues to maintain her Minnesota Power Limited Technician (PLT) electrical license.
Plagued with troublesome knees Jeanie hung- up her ladders and sold her AV Company in 2005. Wohlers then took a technical sales position with respected national AV distributor, Capitol Sales. At Capitol, she was responsible for over 300 accounts. Quickly recognized by commercial and residential systems contractors as an extremely knowledgeable partner, Jeanie was a valued resource to them for product knowledge, systems design & engineering support, and business management counsel.
Recruited by Best Buy in 2012, Jeanie was instrumental in the start-up of a division created to lease high-end AV systems that were installed via a network of regional and local AV integration companies.
When presented with an opportunity to immerse herself in the commercial contracting sector Jeanie became a sales executive with a top 20 US commercial contracting enterprise, Alpha Video & Audio.
Truly, a modern Renaissance woman, Jeanie enjoys a diverse technical sales and management background. Prior to her career in the electronics systems sector, Jeanie worked in roles as Research & Development Manager with an engine-driven and wind generator manufacturer, Engineering Specialist with an international aeration equipment company and as a regional Manager of gas & welding supply chain locations.
Jeanie’s notable personal and creative interests include being an accomplished horsewoman. Having been an Equine Facility Owner, Clinician, Horse Trainer & Competitor for many years. Jeanie is also an accomplished vocalist. In 1990, she was recognized as Minnesota’s Country Music Entertainer of the year, Top Female Country Music vocalist and Miss Minnesota Country Music. Today Jeanie fuels her passion for performing music by gathering with AV industry friends for jam sessions. (And, maybe a few beers).
Over the last 20 years, Jeanie has been passionately utilizing her contractor & woodworking talents designing and building her own custom log home in beautiful hill country where she raises native forbs and grasses.
