When Karl Ward opened Ward’s Furniture in 1941, his goal was to treat customers like friends and neighbors. This focus on personal customer service has been the cornerstone of Ward’s reputation and success. Ward’s Furniture began providing televisions and VCR’s to school districts in Southern California when a 25” TV was cutting edge instructional technology. 

Ward’s Furniture became Ward’s MediaTech in 2007 to reflect their focus on enhancing student outcomes in the classroom.


Karl Ward’s grandson Brad, and great-grandson Steve, now operate the business, serving educators and businesses throughout the Western U.S.

Although Karl would be astonished by the newfangled technology his company now sells, he would be proud to see that his core values have been passed down through the generations.
