If I was to sit back and reflect, this would all seem accidental, yet required. Back in 2000, I was getting into digital music production, mostly EDM (Trance & House), and I scored a few awards at the local Music Festivals (Nomination for Best Producer (for the Best Percussionist winner), and took home Best Instrumental, Songwriter & Song of the Year), not to shabby. but I fell into "Writer's Block", a prodcer out of Toronto, who I had collaborated soem remixing with turned me on to DJing. At the time I was trying to move up the ranks at work, and raising two kids, with their mother working the evening shift, I also started picking up fill in spots for local Mobile DJ's.

The move up the ranks at work wasn't going to happen, so I formally launched in to a side hustle in 2002 as "SoundScape Productions", quickly pivoting to "VeloctyDJs". In 2004, I met THE most difficult photographer ever, who refused to participate in communicating the plan ahead of time, and trying to get me to badger the couples into a faster timeline. After that Wedding, I started to reinvigorate my photography experience into weddings and move into offering photography as well. Videography was a slow evolution and addition as the same cameras became hybrid Still & video devices. Yes, I own at least 7 cameras now, and a lot of gear.

The past 24 years has been a journey, and the industry has dramatically changed. A lot of folks balk at pricing, and I have always tried to keep that mutually reasonable, and deliver expeditiously with professionalism. All of which seems to gotten fuzzy in the past 10 years.

In the "now", I am grateful to be part of a lot of weddings, eventually moving up in my day job, utilizing the tools I have learned there to make this work better, and to having two pretty-cool grown kids.
