When my parents sold my childhood home in California a few years ago they sent two gigantic boxes of memories to Houston which were a mix of loose images, discs, documents and a few discolored photo albums.

Although they can come to your home to pick up, I decided to swing by his new location conveniently situated in the Galleria to see how his team works behind the scenes to digitize Houston’s precious memories and mementos. Watch below to see Doorstep Digital in action!
