Rod is a resourceful guy. He uses numbers and relationships to help LABOV run. Daily, his team oversees our workflow to ensure we live up to our core value of rigor. And by treating everyone as part of the team, Rod is the go-to resource, helping our supplier-partners (LABOV does not have vendors—we have supplier partners) do their very best work so LABOV can do the same for our clients.

Marcus McMillen
Creative Director
Marcus is an opener. He opens up new worlds of creativity for every project he tackles, and he opens doors to deeper relationships with clients and supplier-partners. His visual creativity is unique in that it actually has an energy to it, it has meaning that inspires. Marcus plays a leadership role throughout LABOV as he jams and explores his way to producing the best work of his life.

Pete brings a critical talent to LABOV. He is not only a talented art director, he is our Technical Immersion Lead. Pete’s love of machinery, technology and physics allows us to dig deep into what makes our clients’ products, processes and technologies unique. A core value of ours is exploration; Pete is an explorer.

Sal Farias
Account Supervisor
Sal is all about people and process. He uses his talent to breakdown seemingly complex projects and at the same time forge meaningful, authentic relationships with his team and clients. His aptitude for technology, ranging from apps to artificial intelligence to digital renderings to online training modules, makes him the go-to person for clients to turn to.

Pat Love
Traffic Manager
Pat is the voice of LABOV to many of our clients who call in. She is also the heart of LABOV. No matter when or what is needed, she will make sure a client is taken care of, personally. She takes that ownership to lead our traffic department every day, ensuring our team has the necessary support to take care of clients and our projects are on-time, every time.
