Robin Crews, ASTC, Senior Associate with Wrightson, Johnson, Haddon & Williams, Inc. (WJHW), began working as a stagehand in 1973, while attending Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.  In 1975, he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Information and Computer Science from Trinity and went on to earn a Master of Fine Arts degree in Drama, with a focus in lighting design, through Trinity’s affiliation at the time with the Dallas Theater Center. 
          In 1978, upon completion of his degree requirements, he became a founding partner of CFA Media Specialties, providing rentals and permanent installations of lighting equipment and working with clients, such as, NBC and ABC-TV, Houston Grand Opera, and other entertainment entities.  During this time, various lighting design projects were completed ranging from presidential candidates debates to the 1986 visit to San Antonio by Pope John Paul II, along with a wide assortment of industrial, TV and live theatrical performances, including Honda, the Tejano Music Awards and Rudolf Nureyev. 
          Crews joined the staff at USAA as Manager of Engineering in 1989, handling facility construction and numerous industrial broadcasting projects.  By the mid-1990s, he had formed Associates and Crews, providing consulting and lighting design services for Texas and beyond.

           He, currently, lives in the hill country on the outskirts of San Antonio with his wife and daughters and, as a weekend gardener, enjoys growing wildflowers and tending his peach trees, which have recently been suffering from an invasion of very annoying grackles brought on by the encroachment of city dwellers moving into the area.
