Legacy on Film: Fred Farmer’s Journey from Tragedy to Preserving History

July 13, 2025

In this heart-opening episode of The Mike Litton Experience, we sit down with Fred Farmer, a U.S. Air Force veteran, lifelong storyteller, and founder of Fond Reflections Video—a legacy project preserving the life stories of seniors before they’re lost forever.

Fred’s life is a tribute to resilience, creativity, and service. After surviving the tragic loss of his father at age 12 and joining the Air Force during Vietnam, he carved a remarkable path from corporate photography to working at General Dynamics and Qualcomm, managing global events and brushing shoulders with industry legends like Dr. Irwin Jacobs. But Fred’s true calling came later: capturing the powerful, untold life stories of everyday people before they disappear forever.
