Don Chisholm provides video and multimedia services for all, from teens to veterans.
Chisholm, a one-man operation, relocated here in 2018 from Seattle because his technology business was too busy. “I was working eight days a week and my clients had become my social life,” he said.
After working for the installation of technology on planes for 20 years at Boeing, Chisholm started working on music videos. “My business and technology just kept growing” as more people asked him to provide varied technology services.
Chisholm is proud that Yelp and Home Star give him 5-Star ratings. He attributes that to his customer service. “Customer service is my umbilical cord. If somebody needs my help, I’ll be there. When I do something, it’s like it belongs to me.”
The Prescott Valley Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting for Flex Video and Multimedia on Tuesday, Dec. 19. “They made me feel welcome,” he said.
Besides his customers in the Prescott area, he receives calls from all over the region and beyond. His video services have been used for roof inspections, promotional reels for Tiny Homes and helping with lighting issues at the mall in Prescott. He has also installed 6,000 feet of cable for the Veterans Administration to upgrade and speed up their internet file system.
Chisholm says he came to Prescott Valley because it was new, peaceful and had all the amenities he was looking for. “It made me feel calm, collected. I met the nicest people in the world.”
He found he could help local builders by teaching them which cables were needed in modern homes. “You can save money by using the right technology,” he said.
Chisholm also uses his technology knowledge to help teens create music videos. “It keeps them out of trouble.”
Chisholm also helps veterans by offering his technology services for whatever they need.
Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Chisholm earned an electrical engineering degree from Michigan Tech, which was rated as the No. 2 engineering school in the country at the time, behind only MIT.
He served four years in the Army in heavy field artillery and target acquisition. An illness kept him from becoming a pilot. After leaving the Army, Chisholm became an electrician for bridge cranes and business equipment. He also is an author. His book “The Rev Don Redux” is about his 16 years as a whitewater rafting guide in the Northwest.
Chisholm stays involved in the community by passing on information to anyone who needs assistance with technology issues of any kind. QCBN
