Meet Our Founder
David Crabtree, Jr.
Hello All!!! I've been flying RC aircraft since I returned home from serving in the US Navy, with over 20 years of RC experience.
After getting started and experiencing the Commercial Drone Industry, I decided that I wanted to make a difference, and serve my home state of West Virginia.
I'm excited to share this experience and help build a workforce in an awesome new technology field, and show everyone how to have a rewarding career!
