Having worked with Gary in Florida, I’ve seen -firsthand- his ability to create opportunity where other engineers could not. He’s more than a Master Chief Engineer, he creates opportunity: He maximizes a tower’s revenue potential, and our industry needs that now more than ever.”
Hess said, “It’s one thing to keep your station’s signal FCC compliant; Most tower companies can do that. It’s quite another to turn your tower into a revenue generator: This is what we do for radio stations. I’m excited to work with Velocity Radio Management and their clients.”
