As a Part 107 FAA Certified Pilot and owner of Aerial Ops with over 25 years of experience in professional photography and video production, I am passionate about capturing breathtaking aerial shots for any occasion. Aerial Ops Drone Services is committed to helping clients achieve their vision, particularly in corporate, construction, and promotional projects. My expertise in aerial photography allows me to produce stunning visuals from unique perspectives, ensuring each shot is truly one-of-a-kind. In addition, I have had an extensive background as a decorative artist working with many designers and top building contractors in the construction field, creating decorative painting finishes and undertaking concrete engraving in both residential and commercial settings. This experience has allowed me to work closely with these professionals to achieve client visions.
