I'm Dave Robenalt, owner of Absolute Theater. When I started Absolute Theater, I had a pretty good idea where I wanted to take this business and have been successful in achieving those goals. My 35 plus years of experience in this industry have taught me a lot about what makes a store like ours successful, where others, some much bigger than ours, have failed miserably. 

 For me, it began as a hobby in the early 70's while attending college. As a musician, music was more of my life than anything else, in fact still is a big part of my life today. I worked at several retail audio stores around Columbus, during school and after college. Finding it almost impossible to leave this industry, I began working for other larger manufactures, such as Harman Industries, developed and oversaw an entire training program for a local retail store chain, and became a Store Manager for one of the largest national, Electronic Retail Store chains. One of my favorite jobs was a high level position with Pioneer Electronics, where I was a corporate Training Manager and worked with the Japanese engineers on product development for the US market. Here, I worked with some of the best people in the Consumer Electronics business today.
