September 20, 2021 Thad Boone

With a keen eye for cinematography and a passion for storytelling, Thad’s visual artistry elevates every project he touches. Undeterred by failure, he finds a way to flip undesirable outcomes and channel that energy into a dauntless pursuit of success.
He flexed his leadership skills as founding father of the Alpha Psi chapter of Beta Theta Pi fraternity at Butler University and also edited two short films while in college.
