Meet The Team

Barry Hersch created Video Discovery, Inc. in 1983 after graduating from Kent State University in 1981 with a degree in Telecommunications (film and video). Initially, Video Discovery Inc. only provided depositions and courtroom playbacks in the greater Cleveland area. Over the years, Barry began exploring new areas of legal tech such as non-linear editing and illustrations and he decided to convert VDI into a one stop shop for full litigation support. In addition to managing VDI, Barry handles most field shooting and depositions. In his free time, Barry enjoys volunteering, working out, playing tennis, travel, and being with his family.

After obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications from John Carroll University in 1999, Tyler joined Video Discovery, Inc. and successfully developed the litigation support division via leading trial technologies and graphic presentations. He is proficient in a wide array of presentation and design softwares ranging from Trial Director to the Adobe Creative Suite. He is often requested to speak at conventions and CLEs for his experience with both plaintiff and defense councils in both civil and federal circuits. Tyler is proud to have helped contribute to many successful verdicts and settlements over the years. In his free time, he enjoys spending time outdoors and going on critter adventures with his wife and two children.
