Scott Hoch has been part of the Electronic Engineering family for over 11 years. Working in our sales department, Scott works with private companies, schools and public safety across Central Iowa to cater to their radio communications needs. Whether it’s in the field, on the playground, or in the plant, Scott has the knowledge and expertise to get to the root issue a customer is facing.
We asked him the following questions to get his insight on the industry:
What is one of the most significant technological shifts you’ve seen happen in your time in the industry?
Scott: Much has changed but the two that top the list would have to be the wide accessibility to the Internet and the amazing software capabilities for today’s two way radios. Their function goes far beyond what many know as “push-to talk” feature and they are keeping up with society’s demands of GPS tracking, text message capability, communication over Wi-Fi and more.
What’s a recent favorite project you’ve worked on?
Scott: I’ve had some really great projects in the manufacturing and public safety spheres but, recently I have enjoyed working with Waukee Community School District.
As one of the fastest growing suburbs of Des Moines, they’ve found increasing need to keep their individual schools connected to one another and to public safety. With the reliability of radios’ push-to-talk feature coupled with direct access to the police department, I know we’re giving them the safest and best option to meet their needs.
What is one thing that readers/friends might be surprised to know about you?
Scott: I am 50% owner of a cupcake shop in Johnston, Iowa, named Cupcake Addict.
What are some of the things you like to do in your free time/hobbies?
Scott: I enjoy fishing, bow hunting and boating with my family, smoking meat and just being Dad… Scott lives in Johnston with his wife, Janet. They have two children, Lilly (11) and Tyler (10). |
