About Us
Uniquely-Suited for Today’s Tech Challenges
Founded nearly two decades ago by Joel Hawbaker, Epic has seen the industry go through many changes.
Over the years, A/V and IT have nearly become a single discipline. Epic has responded by building in-house IT expertise and partnerships to the extent that we even serve many companies strictly as IT consultants.
That cross-discipline expertise uniquely suits us to understand the challenges and objectives of both the audio/video and IT departments and to design and deploy systems that best meet your needs.

Our History
Founded in 2003 by Joel Hawbaker, Epic Integrated A/V originally specialized in solutions for new construction homes and light commercial in the Chicago area. Naturally, the crash of 2008 took its toll and many audio/video businesses did not survive. By the grace of God, Epic endured and strengthened our offerings for commercial, institutional, and luxury residential projects.
We were one of the first companies to gain in-house Cisco certification along with other certifications from top manufacturers like Crestron.
Our mission has always been excellence and it guides how we operate to this day. From the products we specify to the solutions we deliver and the quality of our customer relationships, we aim to be different. We aim to be excellent.
