Company Bios

Dan Horner
I’ve been with SFTW since 1974 and I haven’t aged a bit since then!  I’m one of the owners of SFTW.  I’m proud of the team we’ve developed over the years to serve our friends and customers. This summer marks our 54th year as a Motorola Service Shop.  On any given day, you will find our field technicians in South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa taking care of one of our most valuable assets – OUR CUSTOMERS!  I really work in all aspects of the business.  From the administrative and management side of the business to working with our customers to install, repair and optimize their wireless systems.  Over the years, I’ve developed a broad working knowledge of all types of communication equipment.  I do extensive bench work on portable and mobile radios.  I often work on special products and projects that require custom design and development.  If you have a special need or idea you would like to discuss, I’d be happy to visit with you, just give me a call.  I also work closely with the Federal Communication Commission (F.C.C) on a regular basis.  I handle the new FCC license applications and renewals on behalf of our customers.  Give me a call or send me an email if I can assist you with your F.C.C license.  Thanks for your business!

I joined SFTW in 1987.  I’m one of the owners and head-up the sales team at SFTW.   I’ve had the privilege to meet some wonderful friends during my travel around the tri-state area over the last 20-years.  You will generally find me out on the street calling on customers and from time-to-time holding down the sales desk at our office in Sioux Falls.  I enjoy working trade-shows, fairs, special events from north, south east and west.  I greatly appreciate the amount of repeat business I’ve received from my loyal customers.  My customers are my friends and I truly appreciate their loyalty and friendship.  As we continue to grow and expand our business into new state of-the-art product offerings, rest assured we will continue to offer you the best quality products, the highest level of service at a fair price.    We are known for servicing what we sell.  We look forward to our continued relationship with all of our customers and friends.  Stop by and say hello whenever you are in the neighborhood.  I look forward to seeing you again.  Thank you.

Jeff Ball
I’m the “new kid” at SFTW.  I started here in January of 2006.  I’ve been in the communication business for nearly 20-years, most recently with Cellular One / Western Wireless for 14-years.  For those of you who can remember how, in the “old days,” we would originate a mobile telephone phone call … “Mobile Operator would you dial …” It seemed to work pretty well, considering. Today, I work with cellular, 2-way radio sales, point-to-point T-1 elimination products, cost-effective mobile data systems, voice & 2-way logging recorders, vehicle tracking / fleet management and in-car digital camera systems for law enforcement.  (I’ve been know to run the vacuum cleaner around the office too) Give me a call, I’d be happy to work with you and discuss and strategize about your communication needs.
