Mike is a 2006 graduate of Illinois State University with a degree in Geography.  After graduation he was an aerial camera operator for DK Curtis in Burbank, California where his passion for aerial photography really took off.  Being an RC aircraft hobbiest since he was 10, the natural progression for drones and aerial photography was a perfect match.  Mike became an Air Traffic Controller in 2009, and since 2015 has been at the world’s busiest airport O’Hare Airport in Chicago.  Mike has two amazing kids, and is married to his wife Summer who shares his passion for real estate and everything aviation.

What is a Drone Pilot?

A drone pilot is more than a simple photographer. They are people who control an aerial vehicle (aircraft) that is “unmanned” or remotely controlled by ground means.

Our Drone Pilots are individuals who are professional, trained, FAA Part 107 certified, and skilled in the field of piloting, airspace regulations, meteorology, and other skills critical to safety of flight in aviation.

We carry a $1M Liability Insurance Policy on all drone operations.
