Brian White
Director of Engineering
bwhite@htg-tv.com
It all started on a glorious December day in the early 1970s. Brian was raised in the heart land of Dallas Cowboy country, (GO COWBOYS!), and went on to graduate from Nimitz High School, (GO VIKINGS!). From high school Brian joined the United States Navy Combat Engineer Core, (SEA BEES, WE BUILD, WE FIGHT) and served in both the Atlantic and Pacific theater with the "finest men and women in the world". During his five and a half year tenure with USN SEA BEES, Brian studied and performed in the structural engineering field, including complete assemblies, electrical applications, low voltage communications, plumbing and force defense. His duties also included building in-theater offensive point-to-point microwave and satellite communications infrastructures from conception to completion. Brian also attended the University of Maryland and University of New York Applied Science and Communications School. Once honorably discharged from the Navy, Brian made the transition into the sale and installations of commercial, and residential premium satellite television and internet services.
At HoteleGuide, Brian helps handle the deployment and installation of all HoteleGuide servers into hotels. If he's not out in the field, he's the guy walking around the office on the phone talking new installers around the country through all aspects of an installation. Now that takes some patience!

Cambri Thompson
Accounts Specialist
cthompson@htg-tv.com
Cambri is the only person in the whole company who everyone wants to see every 1st and 15th...she has the paychecks. Cambri attended Texas Tech University, and later moved to California to attend college there. Counting all the colleges Cambri attended clearly shows she wanted to get the whole college experience down! Over school and seeing real estate prices in California, she quickly moved back to Dallas and joined the HoteleGuide team as an accounts specialist. She claims that she "rocks" and that she's "pretty darn cool". |
