I have been working in the mining industry for a little over 12 years now and the majority of the time has been spent in the field as a Surveyor, or an Environmental Technician. Wearing myself out out on a daily inspection, or a walk around a leach pad, or massive waste dump; collecting data from a GPS on my back to configure a volume or contours. I had always imagined something in the air that could make life more simple. I am now working smarter, not harder with the implementation of drones in the workforce.

Before my time in the mining industry I educated myself in the production and entertainment industry - working with cameras, design, film, editing, photography, marketing, producing, and directing.

During my first flight with my new drone, it all came to me. All those years of experience in the field, dreaming of an easier way to accomplish a goal and now technology at it best and about to get better as I am flying a camera. I wanted nothing, but to start a drone business from that point and since have been determined to make peoples lives or jobs easier, faster, less strenuous, safer, and not to mention more fun.

Passion and a career came together to create N V Aerial & Ground Productions LLC. I enjoy capturing the big picture in less the time and now my job has become more fun. I have a great success services team behind me to help generate client needs. From launch, to capture, landing and results, everything is generated in the cloud and delivered in formats that import nicely into most GIS systems today. I am looking forward to growing with this industry and learning as much as I can everyday.
