About Me...
I am a certified FAA Commercial UAS Pilot (Certification #3970139) with years of flight experience and full insurance coverage. In addition to running NEPA Drone, I proudly serve as a Police Officer and Drone Pilot for the Blakely Police Department in Pennsylvania. I also serve as a Drone Pilot/Negotiator for the Lackawanna County S.W.A.T. team, where I operate in critical incidents and high-risk situations.
My background in public service gives me a unique advantage in drone operations, especially when responding to emergencies and high-pressure situations. With a degree in Business Management and a specialization in digital and social media marketing, I combine technical expertise with strong communication skills to deliver professional, reliable, and innovative aerial services.
At the heart of it all, I use drones not just as a tool, but as a way to enhance safety, provide perspective, and create lasting value for both public service and private clients.

We Now Have Pet Recovery Capabilities!
NEPA Drone Now Has a Thermal Camera
At NEPA Drone, I now offer pet recovery services using advanced thermal camera drone technology to help locate lost pets quickly and efficiently. Whether your pet has wandered off in the woods, fields, or an unfamiliar area, our aerial thermal imaging can detect heat signatures, even in low-light conditions. This cutting-edge approach increases the chances of a successful reunion by covering large areas faster than traditional search methods. If your pet is missing, contact us, and let’s bring them home safely!
Please note: Because I work full-time as a police officer and also have other commitments, there may be times when I am not immediately available to assist. For that reason, below you’ll find a guide you can use to begin your search if I cannot respond right away.
