Hello from Davis Dorsey

Owner/Operator

Davis Flys Imaging

Hello, my name is Davis, and I’m a certified aerial drone pilot with a passion for capturing stunning aerial views. My journey into the world of drones began in 2018 when I first took to the skies for fun, inspired by my lifelong fascination with aviation and fighter jets—an interest sparked by a friend’s obsession with

Top Gun

.

Though I spent the majority of my career managing and owning restaurants, I later transitioned to a Fortune 5 healthcare company. However, my true passion lay in the sky, and after many years of flying drones recreationally, I decided to turn that passion into a business.

Today, I’m proud to be the owner and operator of Davis Flys Imaging, a drone service company built on the foundation of years of dedication and expertise. I hold an FAA Remote Pilot in Command certification (also known as Part 107), ensuring that every flight is conducted with the highest safety standards and professionalism.

At Davis Flys Imaging, we are committed to delivering top-quality aerial services for both commercial and personal projects. Whether you need breathtaking aerial photography and videography, detailed 2D mapping, or other specialized drone services, I use the latest technology and techniques to ensure the best results for my clients.
