You work with Aaron directly
There is no call center, no confusing ticket system, and no pressure to buy before your questions are answered.
Meet Aaron
A local person helping families protect irreplaceable memories.
Past Forward Convert is built around personal service, honest communication, and the belief that old family media deserves more care than a one-size-fits-all transaction. You are working with Aaron directly from the first question to the final delivery.
Why this work matters
Every box has people, places, and voices that cannot be replaced.
The work is technical, but the reason people reach out is personal: first steps, weddings, grandparents, military service, school concerts, sports, holidays, and loved ones who have passed away.
The goal is simple: make the next step feel safe and clear.
Most customers do not know the format, condition, or best delivery option when they first reach out. That is normal. My job is to help identify the media, explain the options, and preserve what can be preserved with care.
Treat every tape as if it belongs to my own family.
Explain the process in plain language.
Never promise perfect results when the media condition is uncertain.
Help customers understand what they have before they commit.
What customers can expect
A careful process before your memories ever change hands.
The first job is not to sell you something. It is to understand what you have, explain the options, and make the handoff feel comfortable.
Your originals are treated as irreplaceable
Tapes, film reels, slides, photos, negatives, and audio recordings are handled carefully and returned after the project is complete.
The quote starts with what you actually have
A rough count or a few photos are enough to begin. You do not need to identify every format before reaching out.
Mail-in projects wait for a plan
If mailing is the best option, shipping instructions are sent after the request is reviewed so you are not guessing how to pack originals.
Local and practical
Built for families who want a real person to help them sort the box.
Many projects start with uncertainty: unknown camcorder tapes, unlabeled film reels, photo boxes from parents, or a deadline for a gift or memorial.
