For our next interview, we bring you yet another Hoot & Holler OG, Lasco Acoustics, Drywall, Plaster & Stone! More specifically, Vice President Paxton Ellis. For the last eight years, Lasco has been a premium sponsor, donating $20,000 annually before upping it to $25,000! Paxton has humored our ideas and requests for feedback year after year, which is one reason the event keeps getting better! Here's what Paxton had to say:
This event just wouldn't be what it is without the support of Paxton and Lasco, so a huge THANK YOU and CHEERS to many more years of fun! If you'd like to get in touch with Paxton, drop him an email or connect with him on LinkedIn. Paxton Ellis Vice President Lasco Acoustics, Drywall, Plaster & Stone paxton@lascoadi.com

Have you ever wondered how the Hoot & Holler started? Eights years running now, DPR has hosted the likes of Randy Rogers, Corey Morrow, Whiskey Meyers, and Josh Abbott, to name a few. It was all spurred on by a man who needs no introduction: the one and only Dave Boroughs. At the time, Dave was leading the DPR Dallas office, before he left us to start some company. Actually two companies. Not sure if you've heard of them, The Demo Company and The Door Company? Anyway, even though Dave left DPR, he's been a huge contributor to the success of Hoot & Holler over the years. It's no secret the man likes to have a good time (and has a heart of gold) so we asked Dave to reflect back, and here is what he shared.
Jokes aside, we want to thank Dave and the folks over at The Demo Company and The Door Company for the years of support, it just wouldn't be the same without ya! Cheers to you! - Monica and Kacie If you'd like to get in touch with Dave, drop him an email or connect with him on LinkedIn. Dave Boroughs Owner The Demo Company & The Door Company dave@thedemocompany.com The Hoot & Holler is, and has always been a community event. Afterall, cancer and pediatric care affect us all. While we are connected within the AEC industry, we are also connected to our beneficiaries in one way or another. You can image our pride and delight when our little industry concert started gaining support from other General Contractors (ie. DPR's direct competition)! It's an incredible testimony of how our industry can come together and do big things. You may not realize that so many families affected by pediatric cancer work in the local construction industry. Carson Leslie's dad is a Project Executive at Beck Construction, Kyle Murray's mom worked at Balfour Beatty Construction, and sweet little Ellie Simoneau's dad, Dan, works at Austin Commercial. We sat down with Dan and his partner Lynn to hear about what the Hoot & Holler means to them.
Haha! Thank you Dan, and Lynn for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are so grateful for your advocacy, and support. We can't wait to see you in February 2024! - Monica and Kacie If you'd like to get in touch with Dan or Lynn, drop them an email or connect with them on LinkedIn.
