Brian Pirkle — Founder & CEO of Velocity Productions

Brian Pirkle founded Velocity Productions® in 2010 on a simple but powerful conviction — that the most meaningful live events aren't built around production, they're built around story.

A U.S. Navy Veteran with more than 25 years in the event services industry, Brian has spent his career at the intersection of strategy, creative direction, and world-class production — designing experiences that don't just look extraordinary, but make people feel something.

His work spans faith-based conferences and leadership gatherings to corporate events and nonprofit galas, with clients including illumiNations, Young Life, WinShape Foundation, Passion Conferences, Compassion International, North Point Community Church, Chick-fil-A, The Seed Company, PAO, Catalyst Conference, Story Conference, and many more — across the U.S. and Europe.

Brian leads Velocity with the same values that have defined the company since day one — honesty, faith, generosity, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. He and his wife make their home in Georgia, where they enjoy life with their three daughters.
