We had the good fortune of connecting with Michael Williams and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Michael, why did you pursue a creative career?
I decided to pursue a creative career because it felt like the most natural way of connecting my hobby of drone flying, with the opportunity to share the world around us through an aerial POV.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As a professional drone pilot, it is very exciting to capture places and scenes I have never been seen before. We are constantly growing and adding new aerial images / drone services throughout the year.
We are very passionate about creativity, exploration & adventures.
We hope to use our aerial images to ignite the creativity and adventure which lies within us all.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We are based in Dubuque, Iowa, For anyone who would ever visit Dubuque, I would recommend the two biggest parks in the city; Eagle Point Park and Mines of Spain State Park.
Both parks are situated high on the bluff, and offer great views of the Driftless region and Iowa’s oldest city.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d like to dedicate a shout-out to my dad, David Williams. He is responsible for the purchase of my first remote control helicopters I had as a child.
I enjoyed learning to navigate these helicopters throughout the house, and I attribute much of my current career to the remote control helicopters I started off with more than a decade ago.
