I led the technology side of the La-Z-Boy Lexington store remodel — managing a specialized low-voltage team and the procurement and installation of the IT equipment the refreshed store would run on, applying the playbook I’d refined on the Evans renovation.
A Bigger Remodel, a Proven Playbook
The Lexington remodel meant transforming both the store’s look and its underlying infrastructure on a fixed schedule. The difference this time was experience: I could draw directly on the Evans renovation to sequence the low-voltage work, equipment, and installs so the technology never became the bottleneck.
What I Delivered
Low-voltage team
Managed a specialized team of low-voltage technicians through the store's cabling and infrastructure work.
IT equipment
Procured and installed the key IT equipment the remodeled Lexington store would run on.
Network setup
Configured the network and devices tying the refreshed store together end to end.
Project management
Applied strategic project management, and hard-won experience, to keep every phase on schedule.

The Impact
A remodeled Lexington store on new infrastructure and clean cabling — delivered on schedule by a coordinated low-voltage team, with the technology ready the day the doors reopened.
Experience Is the Best Tool
The second time through a hard project is faster because you’ve already solved the hard parts once. Bringing the Evans renovation’s lessons to Lexington turned a complex remodel into a well-run, on-schedule reopening.
