So here's the honest version of this page. I'm not going to tell you to "fill out the form below to schedule a discovery call." I don't have a form. I don't have a calendar link with 15-minute slots. I'm one person, moving between countries, flying a drone, and processing data from wherever I happen to land that week.

What I do have is an email address and the habit of actually reading what people send me. If you've got a project that needs aerial data, a building that needs documenting, footage that needs capturing, or you just want to know whether what I do is even the right fit for what you need — send me an email. That's it.

I'll tell you straight whether I can help. And if I can't, I'll tell you that too. I spent a decade in consulting watching people get sold solutions that didn't match their actual problem. I'm not interested in repeating that.


// READ THIS BEFORE YOU HIT SEND // I'm not going to list "10 reasons to contact us today" like a landing page. But I will be straight with you about the kinds of conversations that are actually worth having — and the ones that aren't. So here's what I'm genuinely useful for, in plain language.
REASON — 01
You need aerial data, not just aerial footage

There's a difference between someone who flies a drone and someone who understands what the data is actually telling you. I spent ten years building analytics dashboards for enterprise contact centers. I know what it means to take raw numbers and turn them into something a decision-maker can actually use.

That same thinking applies at 400 feet. If you need a 3D model of a historic building, a point cloud of a construction site, or a spatial dataset that needs to be interpreted — not just handed over as a file — that's the conversation I'm built for. I don't just fly. I interpret.

REASON — 02
Your project is in a location I'm actually flying

Right now I'm heading to The Balkans, then Central and Western Europe. I don't recommend places I haven't been. I don't sell footage I haven't personally captured. That's not a policy - it's just how I operate.

So if your project is in The Balkans or Central/Western Europe - or anywhere along that route - reach out. If it's somewhere I'm not currently deployed, I'll tell you that upfront and we can figure out whether the timeline works or whether you need someone local. No wasted time on either end.

REASON — 03
You want cinematic footage that actually tells a story

I shoot for travel brands, documentary projects, and location-based content. The DJI Mini 5 Pro is compact enough to move through borders without bureaucratic headaches, and capable enough to produce 4K footage that holds up in post. I edit in DaVinci Resolve on a MacBook Air M4 — the same setup whether I'm in the Andes or the Adriatic.

I also shoot ground-level and POV footage with the Insta360 Ace Pro 2, so you can get a complete visual package — aerial establishing shots paired with immersive ground footage — without needing a second crew. The timezone changes. The quality doesn't.

REASON — 04
You're not sure if aerial data is even the right tool

And that's okay. Honestly, that's one of the better reasons to reach out. Not every project needs a drone in the air. Sometimes what you actually need is someone who can tell you whether aerial capture will solve your problem — or whether you're about to spend money on the wrong solution.

I've watched people get sold tools that didn't match their actual problem for a decade. I'm not going to do that to you. If you describe what you're trying to accomplish and aerial data isn't the answer, I'll tell you that. That's worth something too.

REASON — 05
You want to work with someone who's actually moving through the world

I'm an Army veteran from Houston who maintained UH-60 Blackhawks in Germany, spent a decade building reporting systems for enterprise clients, and is now flying a drone across continents while building something of his own. I'm not a drone company with a fleet and a sales team. I'm one person with a clear set of skills, a specific set of tools, and a commitment to being straight with people.

If that sounds like the kind of operator you want to work with — someone who'll tell you what they can and can't do, deliver what they promise, and not disappear after the invoice — then we should probably talk.


SKIP THE EMAIL IF...
  • You need RTK precision mapping at industrial scale
  • You're looking for the cheapest possible option
  • You want a polished pitch deck back within the hour
  • You need someone on-site in a city I'm not deployed to
  • You want stock footage I didn't personally capture

None of that is personal. It's just not what I do. And I'd rather tell you now than waste both our time.

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR EMAIL
WHAT YOU NEED Photogrammetry, video/photography, consultation, or unsure
LOCATION City, country, or general region
TIMELINE When you need it - rough is fine
CONTEXT What the data or footage is actually for
BUDGET RANGE Optional, but helpful - no judgment

You don't need to have it all figured out. A few sentences describing what you're trying to accomplish is enough to start.


◈ What Happens After You Send

I read every email myself. There's no assistant, no ticket system, no "your request has been received" autoresponder. Just me, wherever I happen to be that week, reading what you sent and thinking about whether I can actually help.

I'll respond within 48 hours in most cases — sometimes faster, occasionally slower if I'm mid-deployment or in a timezone that makes things complicated. If I haven't responded in 72 hours, send it again. I'm not ignoring you. I'm probably on a rooftop somewhere with spotty signal.

And if your project isn't a fit, I'll tell you that clearly and quickly. I don't string people along. That's not how I want to be treated, so it's not how I operate.


WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW

As of early 2026, I'm based in the western hemisphere. In April I'm moving through The Balkans before targeting Central and Western Europe.

The drone goes where I go. Every city I land in is a new operational base. If your project is in a region I'm moving through, the timing might work out better than you'd expect. Worth asking.

◈ FINAL NOTE — FROM THE OPERATOR I know what it's like to reach out to someone and get a sales pitch back. It's annoying. So I'm not going to do that. If you email me, you'll get a real response from a real person who has actually read what you wrote. I might not be the right fit. But I'll tell you that honestly, and I'll try to point you in the right direction if I can. That's the deal. No fine print.
