About US

Lineman climbing pole

My humble beginning wasn't flying drones, it came from the field. 

For more than 17 years, I served inside one of the largest electric utilities in Texas, working my way through roles that touched nearly every stage of the electric distribution lifecycle. I built and maintained infrastructure as a Journeyman Lineman, restored power under pressure as a Troubleshooter, and coordinated outages, switching, and system restoration as a Distribution Operator. My career was forged in storms, emergencies, and high-consequence decisions where reliability, safety, and situational awareness were not theoretical concepts, but daily responsibilities.

That experience is the foundation of Next Level UAV.

Technology is impressive, but alone does not create reliability. The real challenge begins after the flight, when someone must understand what the data actually means in the context of distribution systems. Asset failures, loading issues, construction standards, and operational risks.

Too often, utilities are handed thousands of images and left to sort through them internally—burning time, adding cost, and delaying decisions. In effect, they’re paying for raw data when what they really need is insight.


Our goals are aligned with yours - reducing uncertainty, prioritizing risk, and supporting better decisions before failures happen. We exist to bridge the gap between inspection technology and practical utility operations. 

Next Level UAV brings a system-level understanding of distribution operations to every inspection, helping utilities act with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Reliability isn’t optional. It’s a responsibility.

Let's take your Reliability to the Next Level
