The men and women who put the "2.0" in your home
Just like the families we help out in each episode, our show has also grown and evolved over the seasons. We started with three "Techno-Gurus" — Brian, Lloyd and Yue. For our second season, Alison joined the Guru team.
This time around we've expanded our team, with even more Gurus sharing their specialized expertise for the most spectacular tech makeover we've ever done.
Yeah, we're pretty excited, too.
- SCOTT MARTIN BROOKS, THE HEAD GURU
He's the man with the plan, helping families who need a little boost in the technology department.
Once our Show Host introduces him to the new family in need, the Head Guru has 48 hours to deliver the home upgrade of a lifetime. He works with the Design Guru and FiOS Gurus, coming up with an innovative, fun solution to meet the family's needs...and blow their minds. If the family's plan could use a little extra oomph, Scott hand-picks a Tech Guru to create a custom, one-of-a-kind creation that takes the home to a whole new level.
Having a blast in a tech-topian playground and making families' dreams come true? Sounds like a win-win for our happy Head Guru.
- TIFFANY SMITH, THE SHOW HOST
Tiffany introduces us to the new family, and the dilemmas caused by their lamentably low-tech environment. When the 48-hour countdown starts and the home is a whirlwind of activity, it's our host who keeps us grounded, reporting on all the many elements of the techno-transformation. (Lucky for us, she's fluent in both English and geek-speak.)
And while the house is being transformed inside, Tiffany is busy transforming the street outside into the biggest bash the neighborhood has ever seen, the Finale Party celebrating the makeover reveal. Keep an eye out — our host just might ask you if you're ready for your close-up!
- MARK MONATO, THE DESIGN GURU
Mark is a world-renowned interior designer who makes sure the new gear's look is as fresh and exciting as its functionality. Under the Design Guru's keen eye, the new technology is seamlessly integrated into a space that is harmonious, efficient and suited to the family's particular needs. Rooms that are great for work, play and just being together as a family.
- ALISON, BRIAN & LLOYD, THE TECH GURUS
Alison Lewis, the Techno-Fashionista. Brian Albert, the Heavy Metal Handyman. Lloyd Emelle, the Computer Genius. Their visionary minds and astounding chops are at the ready, should any of our families need something that just can't be found on an electronics store shelf (yet.)
Check out the Watch the Show page to see some of their handiwork, like the Porter family's FiOS-Enabled Emotion Detector, the Jaeger family's digital Memory Wall, and the Wurtz family's whimsical PB&J Machine.
- THE FiOS GURUS
The success of each episode's high-tech upgrade depends on one powerful, fast and reliable network to tie it all together: Verizon FiOS. Delivering future-proof, practically unlimited bandwidth, the FiOS Gurus hook up each home with lightning-fast Internet and the purest HD picture and sound available, with plenty of muscle to spare for whatever crazy contraptions the Tech Gurus throw at it.
