Todd Hucul joins VLPS Los Angeles

Lighting industry veteran Todd Hucul has joined the staff at VLPS Los Angeles as shop manager. As a native of Winnipeg, Canada, Hucul began working for Westsun 13 years ago. When the company opened its first US office in Seattle, Hucul was there to serve as the operations manager. Later, he moved to Las Vegas, again to help set up the operation. "I specialize in streamlined, well-organized shops so technicians and clients can come in from anywhere and start functioning quickly and efficiently. I plan to apply that same technique to my new lighting shop, VLPS Los Angeles."

Unlike many lighting professionals who fall into the business, Hucul has always wanted to be where he is now. "Lighting is the only thing I’ve ever really wanted to do," he says. "It’s been my life-long dream to be part of the lighting industry and I take it very seriously." Hucul's background is in rock and roll tours and Broadway-style shows such as The Lion King and Showboat. VLPS was recently appointed the primary lighting contractor for the upcoming Rolling Stones world tour and has been providing the lighting services for the popular new television show, American Idol.
