I was introduced to drone technology in 2019 as a hobbyist and immediately fell in love. Since then, I have been through U.S. Army flight training and an overseas deployment. But throughout that time, my love for drones has persisted. I wear multiple hats as a part-time National Guard CH-47 pilot, a full-time civilian helicopter flight instructor, and an independent drone service provider. As crazy as it sounds, of all the aircraft I have flown/currently fly, I have the most fun flying drones. Since I started out in the drone space, I have become particularly passionate about enterprise-level drone applications. My local drone business — Self Aerial Imagery LLC — primarily specializes in aerial thermography (Level 1 UAS Thermography certified), but we offer a wide range of drone services.
