Jim Hougo - President
While an executive with a large manufacturer Jim’s entrepenurial spirit took charge and in 1995 Jim led a team of investors that purchased Vocom (now Crescend). Before the ink dried, Jim began the evolution which has allowed us to become the largest independent manufacturer of land mobile amplifiers. Jim accomplished this by creating a vision of what we could become, recruiting the best talent, providing direction and empowering the individual and team while ensuring we kept our focus on our customer’s delight.

Mark Obermann – Vice President of Engineering
Mark has been involved in the engineering and development of RF amplifiers for over 20 years. Starting with Motorola in 1987, he was a key participant in the research and development of linear feedforward amplifiers for the cellular market, gaining several patents in the process. In 1998, Mark joined Crescend looking to develop the best possible amplifier products for the Land Mobile and Paging markets. He leads our engineering team which has over 100 years combined amplifier design experience.
