About Lucid
Joe Jones, Owner
I consider my clients friends, and they are all working to create the best looking and sounding experiences for their church community.
Like many in the industry, I was that nerdy kid that wasn’t scared off by the hundreds of knobs on my church’s 40 channel Yamaha sound board. I dove in as a sophomore in high school and 20 years later continue to enjoy learning all things audio, visual, software, and hardware.
I derive a lot of fulfillment in accomplishing projects and helping clients get the best bang for their buck and the highest quality system they can afford. I like seeing the whole thing finalized and wrapped up and people happy.
Tony's humble beginnings trace back to his 12 years at McLean Bible Church in Virginia, working his way up to the position of production and engineering director. Flatirons Community Church provided the opportunity for Tony to move to Colorado where he met Joe. His extensive experience set him up for a bright future with Lucid where he continues to grow today. Tony has found great pride in Lucid’s mission to optimize systems so that our clients can focus on their people and be creative. His drive derives from his love for his family, outdoor adventures, and his impressive ability to skip rocks (16 to 25 skips!). Tony's diverse experiences and commitment to perfection make him a valuable asset to the Lucid team.

Andy White, Install Choreographer
I have a passion for the process. More than anything I enjoy creating a distraction free experience for the creatives using the system and for the people who come for the experience.
Andy is a uniquely intelligent individual with boggling mental abilities; a proverbial ace up Lucid’s sleeve. Andy first crossed paths with Joe while volunteering at Northern Hills Church where Joe was building a brand new video production suite. Joe quickly recognized Andy’s exceptional ability to grasp new concepts and learn adaptively, which in turn led to Andy’s introduction to AVL integration. For Andy, the passion for production was sparked at a young age - while rehearsing with his youth group’s band. In his own words: “I was tired of going up to play bass and having no one there to mix for us.” He began learning on his own how to run a system and mix from scratch. This was only the beginning of a fruitful career for Andy here at Lucid.
Kind Words from Some of Our Friends
“Huge difference with Pastor Jeff’s microphone this morning. That sound treatment makes things so much nicer. Thanks for all your hard work and expertise.”
“Went really well, Joe. You guys did a great job and service went on without any big hiccups. I came in on Sat PM and turned on the system. I was blown away man. Sounded so balanced. Really amazing job!!”
“Just wanted to say, probably one of the most useful things you suggested we add to the video system were the 2 ins and outs at FOH and on stage. I’ve used them more than i ever imagined I would! We are using them to light up a rented LED wall for our D-Now here in a couple weeks!”
“Just had our first rehearsal and dialed in monitors and a few mics and it was AWESOME. Thanks so much man for building a killer rig!”
“Lucid has truly transformed our space from a rectangle gymnasium sound into a professional sonic environment and has made my job loads easier. This improvement has impacted our ministry as a church to provide a balanced sound throughout the room so our congregants experience far less distractions from audio and engage intently with our worship gatherings. Joe is incredibly knowledgeable and finds the best solution for our problems making Lucid our go-to.”
“To say that we needed an overhaul was a major understatement. Lucky for me, I knew exactly who to turn to. I was able to see the incredible work that Lucid had done at Highland Baptist Church from my time there. I contacted Joe, and we talked through my concerns. We were able to plan a course of action from start to finish. Even after the completion of these projects, Joe has been available in a moment's notice to talk on the phone or through FaceTime to provide assistance. It is incredible to consider the amount of work that we have been able to accomplish in only one year. We are in a much better situation, and once again that is a major understatement.”
“We have hired Lucid to install a few systems on our campus and I can't begin to describe the impact this has had on our team! From the very beginning of the conversation, we have received nothing less than excellent customer service and professional care. We actively look for projects that we can hire Lucid for so that we can work with this great team as much as possible!”
“Since I met Joe back in 2015, he has continually impressed me with his knowledge, creative solutions and flexibility.”
Lucid + Antioch
Consistency is key in many things: free throws, productivity, baby food, and most importantly; video. Antioch Church in Waco, TX was feeling the disconnect in their video system; made up of two brands and three distinct styles of cameras, and two completely different control systems; they just couldn’t keep up.
