About Us

Lead Operator, Gary Gauldin, owned and operated an audio visual company for over 30 years during his career and produced thousands of live events; he also has shot and edited hundreds of videos before adding drones to his production toolbox in 2017. After selling his AV business, he has devoted all his efforts to providing top-notch drone services. I Fly Drones is the first full-time drone company in the Richmond area.

Justin is a “tech guy”, loves all things technology, audio/visual, and has always had a passion for aviation.  Drones were a natural migration for him as they become more readily available to consumers over the years. The combination of all of these passions with his years of customer service and management, make operating a drone based business a natural fit.

The Repair Guy. Actually Prak is a Forensic Investigator when he is not being a dad or repairing the dozens of drones sent to him monthly. Prak has always been a tinker from his childhood, but found himself fixing his and his friends drones so often he decided to start his own business. Joining forces with  I fly Drone owner Gary in 2023 to create and host the Podcast Points of Interest on the I Fly Drones YouTube Channel.

Brad is the ultimate drone fanatic. B-Rad as he as know is full of energy and ideas with us here and around the  whole country. He travels all over the United States to join other drone enthusiast for group meet ups. His passion for flying is only out weighted by his social presence at these events. He has used his skills as a 3D print designer to create drone related products to enhance the drones he flies and also to provide unique branded items for the drone events he attends.

Evan Edmunds is our youngest Part 107 Certified pilot and maybe the best of us on the sticks. He flies FPV drones (hence the goggles pictured)  which are more like stunt planes. His skills come in handy when flying threw tight spaces like inside a house of under a car. He is a great asset for the difficult shoots.
