Joe Hoover’s Summary

Regional Sales at Exar.

28 years of selling strategic, differentiating products, based on emerging technologies.

Started with Intel in 1981, before IBM introduced their first PC. Favorite sales pitch at the time, "aw come on, nobody will ever need to address more that 64K of RAM. That's Huge!"

Then went to LSI and sold custom chips to the start-ups that built the Internet, before most people had even heard of the Internet. Favorite sales pitch circa pre 2001, "all my start-up customers are being bought out for $millions!"

From 2004 to 2007; Focused on enterprise data storage customers implementing Fibre Channel, SAS/SATA. or iSCSI serial solutions; replaced generations of parallel technologies.

Now at Exar, we are at the forefront of digital control of DC power for complex electronics, telecom/datacom connectivity, and "what's next" after RAID in enterprise storage.

Over the years: have lived in Kansas City, Independence, and Columbia, MO; Houston, Austin, and Dallas, TX; Huntsville, AL; and Atlanta, GA.
