HI, I'M DREW.
NICE TO

MEET YOU.

the story

BUILT ON SERVICE.
DRIVEN BY PASSION.

I grew up in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and have spent most of my life here — so when I say I know North Texas, I mean it. The land, the communities, the people.

My career started with service to this country in the US Army, and that led naturally into more than 20 years in public safety — work that demands precision, calm under pressure, and an absolute commitment to getting it right the first time.

I've been flying drones recreationally since 2019, and in 2024 I combined that passion with my background in photography and public safety to launch Overhead Perspectives. What started as a side passion has grown into a full-service aerial and ground photography business serving clients across North Texas and beyond.

I'm a one-man operation — which means when you call, you get me. When I show up, I'm fully invested in your project. And when I deliver, it's work I'm proud to put my name on.

"I will navigate your project legally and safely to bring the best service and product to you."
