VIP is a culmination of 71+ years of industry experience that started with two people passionate about sound and lighting: Troy Reit and George Lathrop. George started Silhouette Lighting and Staging selling lights in his garage, and Troy started in high school running sound on a couple Radio Shack mixers. Humble beginnings for sure, but through hard work and perseverance they became the top lighting and audio companies in Spokane!
