I have had the pleasure of working with Bill at two companies, and came to greatly respect Bill on both the professional and the personal level. A VISIONARY in the true sense of the word, Bill is the type of strategic thinker who is a driving force towards excellence in any business he is a part of.
Daniel Humire
Bill was a client of mine during his time with First Broadcasting. He personally evaluated our products and extremely meticulous in his analysis of our products and appreciative of the value our tools provided in his broadcast RF design work. I have seldom met an executive with such a hands on approach at evaluating vendors - it was one of the more educational evaluations I've participated in with a prospect. Bill possesses a rare combination of radio and software engineering expertise but also maintains a light hearted, friendly and amiable attitude that made him a pleasure to support. I highly recommend Bill Hieatt in any avenue of work he chooses to pursue.
