Happy Employee Appreciation Day! We’ll take any excuse to shout from the rooftops about how amazing our employees are, so our founders want to tell you why each of them are such awesome, integral members of Team Lightswitch. We appreciate them today and every day!
Andrew Nuño, Video Producer
"Andrew is one of the most organized people I know, and is a master at multitasking. He leaves no detail to chance and his communication and creativity ensures clients come back to us for all of their video needs."
- Lynette Schwanger, CEO & Founder
"Andrew is professionalism to a T. Reliable, thorough and full of integrity with all projects. It's amazing that he can balance all the work he does here with his creative achievements outside of work as well."
- Bryce Anderson, Chief Revenue Officer & Founder
"Aside from being professional, thoughtful and amazing to work with I am most impressed with Andrew's positivity which has been integral in carrying tough projects through to the finish line and reframing tough work into success."
- Nat Seidel, Chief Operating Officer & Founder
Thom Pfiffner, Video Editor
"Thom can create compelling stories from any footage we send his way. He livens up our Slack chat every day with hilarious anecdotes and current events, ensuring work never gets too serious!"
- Lynette Schwanger, CEO & Founder
"Thom is an unsung hero of Lightswitch who comes to the table with 5 star Michelin edits like it's nothing. He also plays a key role in making all of our newer hires feel welcome and a part of the team. He either will share a genuine interest with someone new, or poke a little fun to make them comfortable."
- Bryce Anderson, Chief Revenue Officer & Founder
"It’s hard to talk about Thom as an employee as he is so woven into the fabric of Lightswitch and our culture that it’s impossible to consider the team without him. Dependable, talented, willing to do whatever is necessary to get something done, but most importantly essential to our team morale and making work actually fun."
- Nat Seidel, Chief Operating Officer & Founder
Alex Clark O’Donnell, Sr. Video Producer
"Alex provides amazing customer service to all of our clients. She’s quick to understand all facets of the project and offer solutions that fit the client’s needs. All of our clients love working with Alex, and so do we!"
- Lynette Schwanger, CEO & Founder
"Alex's care for her clients and projects is so evident. She forms such strong relationships I'm never sure if our clients are our clients first or Alex's friends. She's also such an amazing cheerleader and advocate for the work we do."
- Bryce Anderson, Chief Revenue Officer & Founder
"Alex has been so integral through so many challenges on Team Lightswitch. I can always go to her with a challenge and she’s excited to take it on. There’s no one I'd rather have in the trenches to have my back."
- Nat Seidel, Chief Operating Officer & Founder
Ian Becker, Video Editor
"Ian is a super talented editor and has a knack for finding creative solutions to client’s requests. He has an eye for great design and brings a polished look to every project he works on."
- Lynette Schwanger, CEO & Founder
"First of all, Ian has a magical ear for picking the right song out of a massive library of stock tracks. He also doesn't always weigh in on Slack with opinions or jokes, but you always know when he chimes in it will be gold. He's extremely reliable with his edits and far more talented than I think he would claim to be."
- Bryce Anderson, Chief Revenue Officer & Founder
"It's amazing to me that Ian still works for us, his willingness to learn completely new skills and create something from nothing are far beyond what we deserve. We are truly lucky to have him on the team."
- Nat Seidel, Chief Operating Officer & Founder
JD Davis, Video Editor
"JD has been a great new addition to our team. After just a few months he’s already editing large projects quickly and efficiently, never missing a deadline."
- Lynette Schwanger, CEO & Founder
"JD is our newest hire and brings a ton of great experience to the team. His background in both storytelling and concept ideation has helped him immediately take on challenging projects like the REX 150 anniversary and, JD specific pun incoming, knock them out of the park."
- Bryce Anderson, Chief Revenue Officer & Founder
"As our newest editor I've found that I have an immediate sense of trust in JD both as an employee and a creative force. With no questions asked he has taken on some large scale projects with easy and amazing results. I can’t wait to see what he brings to the table in the future."
- Nat Seidel, Chief Operating Officer & Founder
Courtney Kurhayez, Marketing Coordinator
“Courtney brings so much energy to all of our meetings and discussions. She’s the perfect cheerleader for our brand!"
- Lynette Schwanger, CEO & Founder
"Courtney has amazing energy and ability to anticipate next steps. She completes things, and completes them well before anyone even knew they needed them and is just completely on the ball. She also livens up every day's Slack conversation with either her references no one else gets, or her not getting everyone else's references."
- Bryce Anderson, Chief Revenue Officer & Founder
"Courtney makes me feel old, BUT… I would be clueless without her. I would have no idea what was going on in the world without her keeping us up to date. That same passion is evident in how she promotes Lightswitch. She makes every post and story not FEEL genuine, but actually genuine. Reminding people that we are a living breathing team, not just a faceless company."
- Nat Seidel, Chief Operating Officer & Founder
Emily Riebe, Video Producer
"Emily is a quick learner and always down to help out no matter the task. I love her positive energy and can-do attitude."
- Lynette Schwanger, CEO & Founder
"Emily picked up the role of producer so extremely quickly and only continues to impress. She keeps projects on track and clients happy seemingly with ease."
- Bryce Anderson, Chief Revenue Officer & Founder
“You would have no idea that Emily is the newest member of our production team, she has dove into this role headfirst and never looked back. It's like she’s been here a decade. Working with her is effortless."
- Nat Seidel, Chief Operating Officer & Founder
