For the Love of Flight and the Brother Who Shared It

Help Keep My Drone in the Sky!

Hey friends, family, and fellow drone lovers –

I've been flying drones for almost 10 years now, capturing beautiful aerial footage of our parks and neighborhoods here in Cincinnati. If you’ve seen my videos on YouTube, you know how much I love sharing these views with all of you. You can check them out on my channel, Drone Zone: https://www.youtube.com/@DroneZone63. It’s become my passion and a way to stay connected to something creative and meaningful.

I’m 62, still working hard, but like many folks these days, I'm just barely scraping by. Unfortunately, my current drone has seen better days, and I simply can't afford a new one right now.

That’s why I’ve started a GoFundMe to raise funds for a replacement drone so I can keep bringing you high-quality videos from the skies over our beautiful city. My brother, Russ, was a huge part of my drone journey — he was always so excited to go out flying with me. I continue doing this not just for myself, but as a tribute to his legacy. When I’m in the sky, I feel like he’s still right there with me.

As a thank-you, anyone who donates will receive a 2026 Drone Zone calendar! Each month features a stunning image captured from one of my YouTube drone videos — and includes a QR code that takes you directly to the video that inspired the photo.

If you’ve enjoyed my footage or just want to support a guy trying to keep doing what he loves, I’d be incredibly grateful for your help. Every little bit makes a difference — even just sharing this post helps more than you know.

Thank you all for being part of this journey. Let’s keep flying together!
