How my Journey Began

Coming out of high school, I had no idea what I wanted to pursue as a career. I started college at Trinidad State Jr. College. I took a handful of random classes to see what peaked my interest. My second year a new program started, the unmanned aviation certificate. My interest was immediately drawn to it and I signed up for it. Throughout the course I learned a lot about drones and their applications. I thought of so many ways I can bring drone technology to the San Luis Valley. Whether it be simple aerial photography or videography, mapping, industrial inspections, or precision agriculture, I knew there was a need. I immediately got to work on a business plan. I finished the program and went to business school. The rest is history.
