About Marc Headley

Marc Headley, founder of MODE Systems in Castle Rock, Colorado, has over 30 years of experience in AV integration, designing and installing over $50 million in systems worldwide. His work spans museums, visitor centers, STEAM exhibits, and tech camps, delivering custom multimedia solutions like video walls, touch-screen interactives, kiosks, and conference room setups. MODE Systems handles everything from solid-state video players to complex video-over-fiber installations, often controlled via centralized interfaces like iPads. Notable projects include AV systems for the JFK, Nixon, and Reagan Presidential Libraries, blending history with modern tech. The Mississippi Grammy Museum features a 12-screen 4K entryway, 24 touchscreens, an interactive dance floor, and a 14-foot touch table, all designed by MODE. The Woody Guthrie Center boasts a 13-foot 32-touch-point video wall, an HD theater, and a digital classroom. At Pikes Peak Summit Center (14,115 feet), they installed a 20-foot interactive video wall and projection galleries. MODE also created the world’s first 3D sports bar with 24 TVs, projectors, and a multi-zone sound system, plus HD mobile broadcast stations and upgraded post-production facilities with editing bays and fiber storage. Headley’s approach prioritizes technical precision and client-specific customization, often managing projects from concept to completion—including demolition and construction, as seen in the N,Y&C Pizza setup. His reputation rests on professionalism and innovative solutions, enhancing spaces for museums, restaurants, and corporations. Beyond AV, Headley’s work as an author and activist complements his leadership, though his core impact lies in advancing AV integration.
