Chris owns SkyArc LLC and operates a Blue Nose Aerial Imaging franchise from Nampa, Idaho, serving Idaho, East Oregon, and Southeast Washington.

He delivers inspection-grade thermal and visual documentation for roofs, assets, and job sites—evidence built for claims decisions, maintenance planning, and project accountability. Clients get reviewer-ready packages: consistent coverage, clear context, and organized files that reduce rework and speed decision cycles.

Chris retired after 18+ years as a U.S. Army senior NCO with special operations experience and program-level leadership responsibilities. He planned and executed complex missions with tight timelines, controlled risk, and multi-stakeholder coordination—then produced the documentation and handoffs leaders relied on. That background shows up in his drone work as disciplined scope control, checklist-driven execution, quality verification before leaving site, and deliverables packaged to survive multiple handoffs without losing meaning.

He completed Clemson Drone’s UAS Vocation program, including DroneDeploy mapping/models and Level 1 UAS thermography. Commercial insurance is active and COIs are available on request.
