Biography for Cliff Heyne

by October 10, 2012

profile photoCliff, like many of us, has always loved home theater equipment. It started when he was very young, pouring over the Sunday ads looking for “high quality” surround sound systems from the likes of Sony or Samsung. In high school he landed a job at Best Buy that started his path towards actual high quality audio. His first surround sound was a Klipsch 5.1 system. After that he was hooked, moving from Klipsch to Polk to Definitive Technology, and so on. Eventually, Cliff ended up doing custom installation work for Best Buy and then for a "Ma & Pa" shop in Mankato, MN.

After finishing his bachelor's degree, he moved to Kansas for three years to pursue a Master’s in Organizational Communication. Currently, Cliff lives in North Dakota and runs an audio/video install business.
