Les Clark

For more than forty years Les Clark has been involved in the world of Audio Visual. What began as summer employment servicing jukeboxes and pinball machines became a full-time career, after attending DeVry Tech in Toronto and SAIT in Calgary.

In 1967, when film was still king, Les began his AV apprenticeship in Calgary. When Vancouver beckoned he continued to hone his Audio Visual skills, until in 1981, he opened Clark’s Audio Visual Services Ltd. A company that is renowned for exceptional personal service.

When you begin your working life servicing juke-boxes, you soon learn to play the songs the customer wants to hear.

Les Clark is in the AV business for the long-haul.
