From being a communications guru to a Council delegate, Joshua Lavar Butler had no plans to waste the prose he developed over the years.
To further advance his skills, Butler launched a public relations firm called Sandstone Public Relations, named after how the porous rock absorbs the elements with its free-flowing nature.

“Business is going very well,” Butler told the Times March 5. “A lot of our business has been entities reaching out to us wanting services.”
Butler, originally of Tuba City, but has his business based in Flagstaff, is a 38-year-old entrepreneurial.
