02 ABOUT THE OWNER
LOCAL ROOTS.
PRACTICAL
SUPPORT.
I'm the owner and operator of Northline Drone Co., based in Northwestern Montana, and an FAA Part 107 Certified Remote Pilot.
With a background in structural and wildland firefighting, search and rescue, helicopter rescue operations, emergency medical services, and current law enforcement, I've built my career around helping others and solving problems in challenging environments.
I started Northline Drone Co. to combine that experience with modern drone technology, providing thermal search and recovery, inspections, imaging, and remote insight throughout Northwestern Montana.

FROM FIRST MESSAGE TO FINISHED WORK
A SIMPLE WAY TO GET STARTED.
Tell us where.
Share your location, what you need, and your timing. For searches, include the last known location and time.
Confirm the plan.
We discuss the scope, access, conditions, and pricing. You know the plan before the flight is scheduled.
Review the results.
Receive the search findings, photos, or project records agreed on at the start, with context for what was observed.
How much does a job cost?
Pricing depends on the service, location, time, and deliverables. Send the basics of your project for a quote. Any travel charges are discussed before scheduling.
Can you help with a lost animal?
Contact Northline for lost pet searches, livestock locating, or game recovery. Include the animal’s description, the last known location and time, and your access to the property. Weather, terrain, vegetation, and timing affect the search; finding an animal cannot be guaranteed.
Are night flights available?
Night operations can be arranged when the location, weather, airspace, and operating conditions allow. Tell us what you need and we’ll discuss a suitable flight window.
What if the weather changes?
Flights depend on suitable conditions. If weather or site conditions prevent a flight, we’ll discuss the next available opportunity before proceeding.
What do I receive after a project?
We agree on what you’ll receive before scheduling. Depending on the work, that may include photographs, video, maps, progress records, or search findings. Tell us how you’ll use the information so we can confirm the right scope.
