Andrew Kobza
CEO and FAA Licensed Private Pilot
Andrew, our esteemed CEO, has had a lifelong passion for aviation, ignited by his first experience on a private plane as a young child. This early fascination with flight led him to pursue flight lessons at the age of 15, culminating in earning his Private Pilot’s License by the age of 17. His journey in aviation laid the foundation for his innovative approach to applying drone technology in various industries.
After completing his college education, Andrew ventured into the business world, honing his skills in business development at his father’s construction company. His time in the construction industry was not only a period of professional growth but also a time of discovery. It was during one sweltering Florida summer, witnessing his father’s challenging and perilous effort to inspect a roof, that Andrew had his eureka moment. He recognized the immense potential of RC aircraft in enhancing safety and efficiency in construction. This realization was the catalyst for founding Professional Drone Solutions, with a mission to revolutionize traditional methods and keep people safely off roofs.
Under Andrew’s leadership, Naples Drone Solutions flourished, leading him to expand his vision. He established Florida Aerial Survey Technologies, a licensed survey and mapping branch, further broadening the scope of drone applications. Within a year, his ambition and drive led to the expansion into North Florida with North Florida Drone Solutions. Andrew’s unique combination of a strong background in construction, business administration and marketing, and computer sciences, equips him with the diverse skill set necessary to lead and innovate in the drone technology sector.
Andrew’s journey from a young aviation enthusiast to a pioneering CEO in the drone industry is a testament to his dedication and vision. His leadership not only steers our company towards new heights but also inspires a culture of innovation and safety. Andrew’s deep understanding of multiple industries, combined with his passion for drone technology, continues to drive our company’s success and sets a standard for excellence in the field.
