Tres Williams


"Tres envisioned and oversaw the design and installation of a first-class live streaming setup for our weekly worship services. He set it up during the pandemic with a minimal budget, and it has worked flawlessly every week since. I am frequently contacted by churches all over the country complimenting our live stream production and asking how they can replicate what Tres does."

- Pastor Greg Horn, Presbyterian Church of Upper Montclair
