Herrero, a decades-long leader in the home technology space, is best known for founding First Priority Audio in Pompano Beach, Florida, where he set the benchmark for innovation and service, paired with support of local communities. With First Priority Audio now part of the Daisy network (acquired in July 2024), Herrero has branched out to establish a new location, hired an initial team and is already bringing cutting-edge smart home solutions to Ocala, one of Florida’s most dynamic and fastest-growing markets.

“Opening in Ocala is an exciting milestone,” Herrero shared. “It’s the perfect time to bring our vision of seamlessly connected living to this vibrant community. We’re thrilled to be able to offer local homeowners and builders technology solutions and ongoing service for their homes.”

The Ocala branch marks a significant step in Daisy’s strategic expansion, showing how committed Daisy is to supporting the entrepreneurial goals of its new franchisees.  In this case, the franchisee is an experienced CI professional who is excited about building a new business from the ground up, using the full suite of Daisy tools to build a business even better than the one he had before.

Hagan Kappler, Daisy’s co-founder and CEO, shared, “Our team worked closely with Bert to help him launch the Ocala branch on time. Bert is an incredible leader, not only driving his team to success but also within the Daisy organization. We’re really excited for Bert to bring his leadership to this team and our solutions to clients in The Villages and the surrounding area.”
