Who Are We

Bill Fries

president & ceo

Hi, my name is:  Bill Fries (pronounced “Freeze” and not to be confused with a popular lunch side item)

I have been with Hiregy since:  I quit my big radio job in Detroit and started this company in Tampa in 2004.

My job title with Hiregy is: President & CEO, which is just a fancy way of saying that I: am the guy who fusses about the neatness of the office, runs to Sam’s to buy coffee supplies and studies Excel spreadsheets.

My favorite thing about working for Hiregy is:  I love coming to work each day and working with our amazing team.   They continually inspire me with their talent, ideas and dedication.  

Before coming to Hiregy, I:  ran radio stations, performed in a comedy troupe and flew kites.

When I’m not working at Hiregy, I enjoy:  spending time with my family, reading lots of self-help books and playing Legos.

One thing everyone knows about me:  Halloween is my favorite day of the year.  Just ask my neighbors!

At home, I have:  a wife, two daughters and a lucky bamboo plant named disaster.

Some words I live by are:  “If you want to win the lotto, you’ve got to buy a ticket!”
