Our story, our vision
Our vision is to pioneer a paradigm shift in the drone services industries by harnessing the talents of veterans. My vision as president when I started this company was to just start fresh. I have always loved helping people. In this business there are so many ways to do just that! I have spent the last year providing services to mostly 501C Non-profits and its time now to actually make this a living. I love shooting the highlights of what our non-profits do for our military community. If you visit my YouTube channel:

Scroll through and check out some options. I have recently picked up some kids first timer events and when and if allowed to publish those with permission I will post them. I'm just an pld veteran out trying to find my place. I'd ask, let's talk, and see how I can lift your vision to new heights.
I am committed to creating opportunities that not only embraces diversity but actively seeks to empower those who have served our country. By leveraging their unique skills, resilience, and determination, we aim to redefine innovation in these fields. Through mentorship and career development initiatives, we aspire to cultivate a workforce that exemplifies excellence, creativity, and inclusivity. Together, we envision a future where every individual has the opportunity to contribute meaningfully, where our industries thrive through diverse perspectives, and where our collective vision transforms the landscape of American Drone Team.
After retiring from the military & finding our veterans struggled to find work, I want this to be a springboard to help! As you read this, consider a few things: 1st, do you need our services, 2nd, do you know someone that needs help, and are you willing to help them, finally, do you fit in one of my categories and would consider joining my team as a subcontractor. #veteran, @AmericanDroneTeam, #DronedudeVeteran.
