I help teams turn complex environments into precise, decision-ready datasets. With deep experience flying commercial UAS and integrating advanced payloads, I deliver LiDAR surveying, photogrammetry, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), thermal imaging, and bathymetric mapping tailored to civil, utility, environmental, and AEC projects. My process covers the full stack: scope and airspace planning, safe flight ops, RTK/PPK control, data management, and rigorous QA/QC. Deliverables include classified point clouds, DEM/DSM, textured 3D models, orthoimagery, thermal reports, and bathymetric surfaces aligned to your GIS/CAD standards. If you need accurate terrain, subsurface insight, thermal anomalies, or shallow-water depth models—I’ll capture it, process it, and put it in your hands in a format your team can use immediately.

LiDAR surveying (classified point clouds, DEM/DSM)

We had an amazing experience working with Scott! The quality of his aerial footage was outstanding, crystal-clear images and smooth, professional shots. He was punctual, communicative, and really understood exactly what we needed. His attention to detail made the process effortless and enjoyable. We’ll definitely be working with him again and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for top-notch drone work!

Corey did a wonderful job completing a 3D digital twin and ortho of an apartment complex. He also went above and beyond and captured some high quality shots of the complex for marketing purposes, without us even asking. 10/10 experience, would highly recommend and hire again!
