He first learned about Woody Ford when he purchased a lake house at Bridgeview on Lake Texoma. After keeping in contact with them for about a year and half he took over February 1, 2017. Since that time, he has made some changes such as free oil changes for life for customers that purchase a vehicle through them, expanding their space and inventory, and the number of sales made yearly.

He shared how they have daily and weekly meetings so they can continue to be better. They work things such as customer service, housekeeping, sales, orders, and inventory.
Butler said he feels that investing in the community is a great way to give back to those who have helped support the business. Since moving to the area after taking the job at Woody Ford, he has supported the community in several ways.

He recently partnered with a charity called Ally’s House that financially assists families with kids battling cancer and has plans in the works to start sponsoring kids battling cancer to help allow them to attend a summer camp.
