After spending the early part of his professional career as a DJ, Greensboro's David Small realized he needed a transition, so he picked up a drone, and fell in love on the first flight.
The world continues to shift toward Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math related professions. David Small is using his resources to educate the youth of Guilford County.
"We've done camps at Page High School with their film program with Ms. Simms. We've been to Andrews where they have the aviation program, and we're corporate partners with Western Guilford and their Transportation logistics department. So being able to showcase, especially to our high school students that this is a real career path, the average salary for a drone pilot can be very lucrative", Small went on to say.
