MEET OUR TEAM

Our technicians have a combined 60+ years of experience in the field. We come prepared to ensure your next project is completed perfectly!

Dave RaddatzPresident

Dave started at NMI by working for his father and founder of the company, Don Raddatz. His first jobs were emptying trash cans around the office. Eventually, he worked his way through every aspect of the company. Dave is certified in almost every product that is offered by the business. When he was on breaks from high school and college, he spent his time installing speakers and learning the business. After earning his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh in 2004, he began working full-time in the business. Dave is now the President of the company and spends most of his time in the office, but he still likes to get out to jobs sites whenever he can.

Outside of work, Dave likes to spend time at his camper, relaxing with his wife and two kids and hanging out with friends. He also enjoys hunting, fishing and boating but doesn’t seem to find enough time to do these as much as we would like. You can usually find him cheering on Wisconsin sports teams and has been known to binge watch various popular TV shows.

Chad MohrProject Manager

Chad started at NMI in 2000 as an Install and Service Technician. After a couple of stops, and earning his Bachelors degree along the way, he returned full circle rejoining Northern Musciast, Inc. in 2016. He manages, schedules, and coordinates all jobs at NMI. He is also heavily involved in pre-sales planning and design following the entire process through after sales support. He prides himself on first class customer service and you can also expect a prompt response to any inquiry you may have.

When he is not working, Chad enjoys spending time boating with his family during the summer months and watching sports with friends during the fall and winter months. He has three kids and all of them are in multiple sports and activities… so they keep him and his wife plenty busy!

Jason Loker Technician

Jason is our certified nurse call expert going through all of the integration training our manufactures to offer. Be it real-time locating, or automated overhead announcement, Jason is an expert across the board. Additionally, he is known as our “server guy”. You’ll most likely see him on the job site wearing his cowboy boots… there’s a reason for that.

In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his kids, hunting, fishing, golfing and outdoor activities. Oh yeah, he also rides bulls!

Matt Hoida Technician

Matt is one of our newer technicians, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what he is doing. He’s been the “lead guy” on some of our largest projects at Northern Musicast, Inc. He spends most of his time installing Nurse Call | Responder 5 products in acute care and critical access hospitals, many times with complex integrations.

Matt is the proud father of four beautiful children and loves spending time with all of them. He plays recreational volleyball and is a very good artist… ask him to draw a quick sketch next time you see him!

Dick Jepson Technician

Dick installs almost all of the systems we offer. From the satellite dishes on your roof to surveillance cameras in your lobby, he runs the gamut with our systems. And usually, he finds himself “switching hats” on a daily basis working in all divisions of Northern Musicast, Inc. He is also our resident “handyman” around the shop.

When Dick isn’t at work, he spends most of the summer with his many nieces and nephews and in the winter you’ll most likely find him in a bowling alley.Kurt has been in the industry for 30 plus years with about a third of that time being with Northern Musicast, Inc. He brings a vast knowledge of sound and communications to our company and specializes in the more complex “smart” systems and integrations within the “sound” division… and is our resident “tinkerer”.

When not working he is an actor and musician in local productions.

Kim Rauleau Technician

Kim is a jack of all trades and is commonly referred to as “Super Tech” around the office. He services and installs drive-thru systems, PA systems, apartment intercom systems, nurse call systems and many of the “odds and ends” jobs that pop up.

Outside of work, Kim is very active in his local VFW post where he serves as the Quartermaster. He also enjoys spending time with his family “back in Michigan”.

Kathy Van Handel Accounting

Kathy has been “counting the beans” (Accounts Payable & Account Receivable) at Northern Musicast, Inc. for over 25 years.

In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, working in her flower garden, cutting the grass, watching the birds and other wildlife in her backyard, watching her neighbor’s horses, and of course playing with her dogs Jake (a/k/a Devildog) and Bella (a sweet little girl that they rescued).

Jess Raddatz Administrative Assistant

Jess started with Northern Musicast, Inc. in November of 2013. She assists with miscellaneous projects around the office, as well as monthly billing and answering phones. You will most likely see her with a cup of coffee in her hand and a smile on her face.

Jess enjoys spending time with her family, reading, running, “glamping”, volunteering at her kids’ school, and of course, Da Packers! With a husband, two kids, three cats, and a dog… things get pretty crazy, but she wouldn’t trade it for the world!

Northern Musicast, Inc. has been providing “Nurse Call” Solutions since 1978. And, our technicians have a combined 60+ years of experience in the field. Therefore, we come prepared! Well, don’t take it from us… Take it from our customers.

I had the pleasure of working with Nurse Call Wisconsin | Northern Musicast for the installation of Rauland’s Nurse Call System in 3 of our hospital locations. They were professional and easy to work with throughout the project. They walked us through each aspect from what was available, how they could meet our requirements, installation, training, and ongoing support. Another key attribute was their flexibility. Inpatient care areas, things change. It’s nice to work with a company that understands and is willing to work around barriers. We are pleased with our products and services received and would highly recommend them.
