Welcome! My name is Tylor, and I'm the founder and chief pilot for First Take Aerial. I currently reside in Reno, NV but am originally from the Chicago-land area. I graduated from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana in 2014 with a degree in Civil Engineering. Upon graduating I started working for one of the top general contractors in the U.S.

​

As the drone industry began to take off in 2015, we became one of the only general contractors in the U.S. with a Section 333 Exemption to fly drones commercially. I gained experience using drones for photos, videos, construction progress updates, and mass earthwork quantity verification. Most importantly I gained a deep passion for drone operations.

​

I see and believe in the power of drones to do something positive for the world. Whether it be helping another company gain a competitive edge, or putting a smile on someone's face by showing them the world from a different perspective. Every day we are finding new ways to utilize this powerful technology, and it is our goal to make sure First Take Aerial is at the forefront of this movement. If you're unsure if drones could help you, send us a message and we can find a way!
