Michael Storch
Michael’s loved music since he first walked into the local hi-fi store over 35 years ago. Management noticed his passion for music and the gear that made it work and hired him as a stock boy. Fast forward to today and that gearhead now leads Storch Entertainment Systems, which designs and sells and installs practically every facet of home electronics. And while entertainment is the heart and soul of the business, the company touches practically every room inside and outside with motorized window shades, lighting control, automation and more.
When he’s not on top of a ladder in a client’s home, Michael is busy handling the behind-the-scenes operational details that keep Storch Entertainment up and running. Other times, he’s on the phone, diving into the nitty gritty details of automation and home control platforms that make your life feel a little more luxurious. Surrounded by music even at home, thanks to his kids’ musical prowess, Michael’s lifestyle is built around immersive and transformational experiences.

What Are Your Favorite Hobbies?
When I'm not challenging friends to intense matches of Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros, you'll find me exploring state parks on my mountain bike or truck, and winding down the evening with a game night with my family or grilling up a feast in my backyard.
What is Your Biggest Talent?
Not only can I effortlessly drive a stick shift, a skill that's sadly becoming rare, but I also pride myself on guessing the exact size of a hex bolt or allen screw and finding the biggest sales on Home Depot’s power tools.
What is Your Most Controversial Hot Take?
I firmly believe that PDQ serves the absolute best chicken sandwich. Additionally, I'm convinced that Crocs are the pinnacle of leisure footwear, spring water is the superior thirst quencher, and regardless of what anyone says, it's called 'pop', not 'soda'.
