Biography
Aperion Audio was established, and is run, by folks who love great music and movies. We’re passionate (bordering on nutty) about producing world class home entertainment speakers that connect us and our customers, to our sources of joy. We also tend to be vocal about what we think. We share our opinions, insights, and sidebars on our blogs. Enjoy!

Guest Bloggers:
Win Jeanfreau - fearless leader
Win Jeanfreau is the founder and CEO of Aperion Audio, an online direct-to-consumer speaker manufacturer for smart shoppers frustrated with the retail experience. It was out of his own frustration that his vision was born: To build extraordinary speakers at a remarkably low price by cutting out the middleman, the distribution channel, and all the retail bureaucracy.
John Wanderscheid - the eternal optimist
John is the VP of Marketing and has nearly 20 years of consumer marketing experience with a majority in the consumer electronics industry. In addition to being a gadget geek, John is a sports junkie, a microbrew snob, and car nut with a taste for alternative rock and 80’s heavy metal music. John spends his days ruminating on creative ways to share the Aperion story and invite strangers to become Aperion friends.
Alex Pasco - the varied voice
We call Alex the Web Marketing Guru, but we’re not exactly sure what he does. Seriously, it’s a total mystery. He sits in his cube all day, ruminating and writing. He’s either creating stellar content for the website or he’s penning a novel about a very unique loudspeaker company. We’re pretty sure it’s the former, but the latter would make for a great read. Alex also takes care of various aspects of email marketing, web usability, and a bit of design. He has far too many hobbies.
Brenda Farrier - the code
Brenda is our Performance Marketing Manager. When the rest of us are shirking our blog-writing duties, Brenda is ready with a stern reminder and a yardstick. Brenda’s favorite thing about working at Aperion is her “unique” co-workers, and when listening to her Aperion system, she prefers just about any non-English/World music. Brenda is cultured.
Caleb Denison - the brass section
Caleb is the Head Guru here at Aperion and is passionate about helping our customers maximize the quality of their sound in a way few others are. He loves the electric synergy that crackles through the air each and every day here at Aperion Audio. Caleb’s favorite sounds are an 18 piece big band parting his hair from 30 yards away and the “Wow…” followed by awed silence when a customer hears their new Aperion system. Caleb also plays a mean trumpet.
Mike Hopkins - the nose
Mike is one of our Home Theater Gurus and our resident nose for news. If there’s something new in our industry (or even outside of our industry) chances are good that Mike knows about it. If you want to play a round of golf or soccer with Mike on the internet, his Xbox Live Gamertag is MikeHopkins. You might be able to beat him at golf, but soccer is a different story.
Matt Meyer - superhero
Like some sort of arcane superhero, Matt Meyer is a mild-mannered college professor by day, Hollywood sound mixer by night. Matt’s worked as a film mixer and sound editor for 15 years, mixing films ranging from Oscar-nominated documentaries to the Japanese dub of Disney’s “Old Yeller.” Lately, however, he spends more time in the classroom than the mixing stage, teaching at George Fox University’s film school in Oregon. “It’s great – they encourage me to continue my film work in my free time. Whenever that is.”
