About Us – Meet Our Team
Owner, Zeb Beal
Zeb Beal is the owner of Downeast Audio Video. He provides complete design, product sales and installation, service and exceptional support to his clients.
Zeb fell in love with music, electronics and entertainment at a very young age. He delivered newspapers to buy his first boom box at the age of eight, and in high school spent his spare time helping friends put sound systems in their vehicles. He loved gathering all the speakers and amplifiers he could find to put on dance parties for his friends, and played guitar and drums in several bands in his early years.
With his love of music and sound, he pursued greater knowledge and expertise as a professional. Zeb has always been a performer, enjoying work as a professional MC and DJ, and has done sound engineering for various bands. In 2004, Zeb directed his passion for residential and commercial technology integration to work in custom home theater design and installation. His jovial personality, and personal attention to every project, make him a favorite with his clients. He likes getting creative to find the right system solutions for every project.
Outside of his career, Zeb is a dedicated family man. His wife and four children are his pride and joy. They spend lots of time at family gatherings, BBQs, beach days and family trips to camp. His hobbies also include listening to music on his two-channel system, playing golf, jet skiing, snowmobiling and riding his ATV’s. He also enjoys various home construction projects with his friends.
Tanner Schaab
Tanner took an interest in computers while in high school, where he took advanced classes. He then went on to study IT at Drexel University. Tanner later spent 15 years living and working down in the Florida Keys area, before coming back home to Maine in 2016. He started working at Downeast Audio, learning and perfecting custom audio-visual integration business. Tanner’s attention to detail, ability to find solutions, and his excellent rapport with customers makes him a natural for the business.
Tanner grew up in Portland, Maine. He attended Portland High School for two years before transferring and later graduating from Cheverus. He was an athlete, playing golf, hockey and baseball. He now lives in Topsham. In his spare time he loves to golf and go to the driving range. He and his teenage son love fishing, golfing and gaming together.
Logan Kaiser
Logan has been working in the A/V integration industry since 2016. He uses his extensive knowledge of A/V technology to professionally design, install, and program our audio and visual systems. He also loves to teach others how to use their technology. He most enjoys helping people who may be intimidated by technology to become more comfortable with it, and use it to its full potential for entertainment and productivity.
Logan grew up in, and still lives in Brunswick, Maine. He graduated from Brunswick High School. In his free time Logan enjoys camping, building computers, and caring for his two cats Wolverine and Laura.
Shawn Sullivan
Shawn joined Downeast early in 2022, with expertise in programming, networking and home automation technology integration. He does a lot of our system designs for the Savant Smart Home technology we offer, and much of our internet setup and installations. His extensive experience in designing effective networking solutions for anything from large organizations and multi-unit buildings to residential and home office systems makes him a valuable addition to our team.
After completing a Professional Certified Network Administrator (PCNA) program last year, he set a goal to help people have the most reliable and valuable Internet they can possibly get at their location. He knows how powerful technology can be, and how much easier and enjoyable it can make people’s lives, and he loves the opportunity to do that every day in his work. He also enjoys the challenge of installing cutting edge fiberoptic networks that work effectively together and load quickly, all while being an “invisible” network of wiring and equipment.
Shawn and his wife, Stacey, recently moved to Maine in 2022 to be closer to their families. They keep busy with their blended family of five children, exploring the outdoors, hiking, and cooking. He likes to develop his knowledge and expertise by rebuilding and expanding his own home audio-visual systems.
