I’m a licensed drone pilot and photographer in the beautiful Ozarks of Southwest Missouri. What started as a simple escape from the office turned into a passion for capturing the world from above. Flying drones gives me a unique perspective—one that I never imagined I might see.

Photography became more than just a hobby; it became a way to connect, to share, and to find freedom in creativity. As I began sharing my aerial shots, I was humbled by how many people enjoyed seeing the world through my lens. Each image tells a story, offering a fresh angle on landscapes we often take for granted.

But my journey hasn’t been a straight path. I’ve faced my share of challenges, including  incarceration and homelessness. Redemption, however, has a way of finding those willing to embrace it. A chance meeting in Atlanta led to an unexpected turn—one that forced me to leave the state but ultimately saved my life. I went on to earn a law degree and became one of the first prosecuting attorneys in the U.S. with a past like mine.

Life, as it does, threw more challenges my way. My marriage ended, and my life crumbled again. I found myself starting over after having expierenced a fall unlike any other I had before. But with every ending comes a new beginning. Drone photography became a source of peace, a reminder that there’s always another perspective—another way to see the world.

Through my work, I hope to share that perspective with you. Whether it’s the rolling hills of the Ozarks, the untouched beauty of nature, or a scene you’ve never noticed before, my goal is to capture the extraordinary in the everyday.

Thank you for being here and for taking the time to see the world through my eyes. Enjoy! - BTP
