Moonlighting as a professional photographer with a love for cool gadgets and adventure, Jon is always looking for the next big thing to help achieve a unique perspective through the eye of a lens. He took his passion to the next level in 2015 when he co-founded Fly High Aerials, with the intent of using his photography / video experience and creative eye to produce awe-inspiring aerial footage.

Building upon his commercial video experience at the agency plus his insatiable appetite to learn new technology, FLY HIGH AERIALS was born. Combining his love of photography and video production with the “cool” factor of today’s high-tech drones, it was a perfect match.

A licensed pilot for 25 years, Walt loves the freedom and exhilaration that flying provides. What started as a childhood dream ultimately lead him to buy his own Cessna 182 years back, where we has spent countless hours flying for recreation. His knowledge and understanding of the National Air Space (NAS) allow Fly High Aerials to stay fully compliant with FAA regulations by keeping detailed flight logs, alerting local control towers for clearance when necessary, and helping secure COAs for specific flights outside of the blanketed authorization range.

The fact that he is also a professional photographer with over 40 years experience only enhances to his ability to understand the lighting environment of every flight and maneuver the drone into the best possible position to capture the perfect shot.

It’s in this space that Jay really found his passion and love of advertising and while editing video and inputting fresh new ideas are what drives him to keep learning and growing, he’s found an almost defiant sense of artistic ability in visualizing a once conventional idea and transposing it to a neoteric state.
