Hi, my name is Frank, and I’m the owner of Golden State Drones, a small drone services business based in California. For over 20 years, I worked in Information Technology, helping teams stay online, secure, and productive. Alongside that career, I’ve always had a passion for tech, RC, and drones. Eventually, I realized I could combine my technical background with my love for flying to solve real problems for businesses in my community — safely, efficiently, and from the air. That’s how Golden State Drones was born.

Now, I’m ready to take my business to the next level. I’m seeking support to purchase advanced Blue UAS drones and invest in mapping and photogrammetry software. These upgrades will allow me to offer safer, more reliable inspections, deliver high-value data products like orthomosaics, 3D models, and precise measurements, and respond quickly after storms or property damage. Your support will also help cover essential costs like insurance, certifications, and marketing, so local businesses and homeowners can actually find and benefit from my services.

Golden State Drones is about more than cool aerial photos. It’s about safer inspections for workers, better documentation for businesses and homeowners, faster response after storms or damage, and supporting local work and skills in a growing industry. By supporting this campaign, you’re helping a local, small, veteran IT professional build something real and sustainable — not just for me, but for the clients and communities I serve. Thank you for believing in my mission and for helping bring safer, smarter inspections to California.
