With over 20 years in the AV industry, Bill Gerber began his career as a field technician and worked his way up to project manager. He later founded his own business, specializing in advanced Savant programming and technician training for dealers across the country. In collaboration with Savant, Bill helped relaunch in-person training in 2020�just before the pandemic put those efforts on hold. Shortly after, he officially joined Savant to lead the Education department. Since then, Bill has spearheaded the redevelopment of Savant's online certifications and continues to drive innovation in training programs that support the entire Savant community.
