Warren Bocht is a licensed Hearing Instrument Specialist in Madison, Wisconsin. He grew up on Minnesota’s Iron Range then moved to Duluth to obtain a degree in Network Support/IT. It wasn’t long before Warren realized that this field wasn’t a good fit for him, so he took a position as a Machine Operator for a Tool & Dye manufacturer, but after being laid off during a slow-down he made another career switch and began a DJ company while singing with a band and bartending. This allowed him to be with his wife more as she was struggling with serious health issues. Sadly, his wife passed away in 2014 and Warren returned to the Tool & Dye manufacturer, remaining there until COVID and an old high school friend changed his life’s trajectory.

In 2019 Warren moved to Madison with that high school friend and before long Warren made the life changing decision to join Miracle Ear where he has been practicing for the past three years. He loves being in the position to be able to help people improve their quality of life and is very proud that his daughters have both chosen to follow him into the industry. Warren enjoys golfing, camping, boating, traveling, and spending as much quality time with his family as possible.

Warren was honored to be nominated for the board position in January 2023 and plans to do his best in whatever is asked of him .
