My favorite quote for business…

“I not only use all the brains I have, but all that I can borrow.”  — Woodrow Wilson.  I believe that success comes from collectively utilizing the knowledge and experience I have, that of my team and that of the customer.

What I love about my job…

I enjoy the diversity of the industries we serve. It’s fun to be exposed to new customers and markets. I challenge our team to be simultaneously prudent, systematic and creative when we come up with solutions for our customers. The best reward is seeing our new clients become
long-term partners. That means we’ve done a great job!

Luke Butler

Photography / Videography Manager

I have had a lifelong passion for videography and photography. I received my degree in Media Production from the University of Houston and am lucky to be able to have turned my passion into a career.

I thrive in environments where I can capture images and turn them into cohesive storytelling to elevate one-off events or entire brands.

My E-Colors are red/yellow.
I’m a doer/socializer.

What makes me passionate about visual media?

I love capturing emotion in a moment that can last someone a lifetime. It always makes me smile when I can create a video that puts a smile on theirs.

Why are videos and photos important?

When displaying a brand or company, identity is essential. In today’s social media and internet usage, the ability to tell your story through visuals elevates the value and importance to the customer or member consuming it.
