We welcomed Billy T. Crooks to the team in May of 2015. For many years, Billy worked as a popular radio air-personality while he was obtaining a degree in marketing from Michigan State University. Though he is a native of mid-Michigan, Billy’s musical passions moved him around the country, briefly living in St. Louis, New York City, and Nashville. He has worked as a sound engineer with a number of bands in Michigan and at a studio in New York City. He later ran his own real estate appraisal company for 11 years in Michigan, but decided he was ready to try something new and escape the cold weather.
Since his child years, Billy always had a curiosity to “see how things work,” often taking apart electronics and repairing them. This curiosity coupled with his vast music and sound knowledge made him an excellent choice for the audiology field. His longtime friend. Dr. Samuel Hill knew he’d make a great fit on our team and invited him down to sunny Florida to take over operations at Florida Gulf Coast Hearing Center. Billy became an official Hearing Aid Specialist to prepare for the job. This title requires the completion of studies with the International Hearing Society, a rigorous training process, and the successful completion of a state test.
When he’s not at the office, Billy enjoys playing his guitar and recording music at his home studio, as well as traveling, watching sports, and catching up with family and friends.
