Who we are…
Blue Oak Systems & Intelligent Home Rep Group are lead by Max Stanton, a Bay Area native with over fourteen years experience programming, installing, servicing, designing, and selling low voltage systems in the luxury residential and commercial market.
Max was introduced to the industry by widely regarded integrator, Metro Eighteen in San Francisco. He instantly fell in love with the intricacies and problem solving of programming systems like Savant, and it didn’t take long before he wore many other hats in the organization. Max eventually left Metro Eighteen in 2018 as the Director of Engineering, to pursue his own low voltage consulting and design business, while also traveling the world with his now wife. Upon return, Max partnered with a well-established electrical contractor and it grew into full integration business, specializing in lighting control and automated shades.
With years of diligent focus in the low voltage and integration industry, and learning the nuances and complications of running a business, Max left his previous business and started iHome Rep Group to represent Savant Systems in the Northern California and PNW market.
Eventually, Max made the decision to return his primary passion and focus on customer installations, project design, systems engineering, and client representation / consultation for technology, rekindling Blue Oak Systems to where it is today.
In his free time, you will find Max either fly fishing, camping, scuba diving, foraging, or exploring somewhere in Northern California or the Pacific Northwest.
Max’s favorite time to be outside is the winter, with its abundance of hidden flora and fauna.
