Vice President of Operations

Established in 2007, Element Electronics began with a simple belief - every household should have access to TVs featuring cutting-edge technology. In 2014, we took our commitment further by opening a factory in Winnsboro, SC, making Element the sole major television company assembling TVs in the United States. Presently, we continue to challenge ourselves, expanding our product range to include electronics and home appliances, while consistently providing customers with products showcasing the latest technology, all at affordable prices.

At TYTUS, we’re on a mission to transform outdoor living. And it all starts with our revolutionary TYTUS Grills – the first grill to combine high-end cooking performance, game-changing style, and best-in-class assembly convenience. TYTUS redesigned grills from the ground up. TYTUS Grills are the easiest to assemble, while also being the most comprehensively stylish and trend-forward of any grill product in the market.
