Williamsburg High School junior starts videography business

WILLIAMSBURG — Wes Stoner is ahead of the curve. The Williamsburg High School junior started making videos while still in elementary school and started his own videography limited liability company as a high school student in 2025. As a local business owner, he’s a member of the Williamsburg Area Chamber of Commerce.
