About Us
Built on Passion. Flown with Precision
ICU Aerial was founded with one mission - to give Houston businesses and individuals access to cinematic-quality drone footage without the big-studio price tag. We're local, licensed, and ready to fly.
Houston's Drone Team
Based right here in Houston, TX - ICU Aerial is a FAA-compliant drone photography and videography company serving real-estate agents, landlords, construction companies, events, disaster relief and more. Every flight is handled personally - no subcontractors, no surprises
Meet the Pilot Behind the Lens
Before ICU Aerial evert took flight, the sky was already home. As a licensed airline pilot flying the Embraer 175 out of Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), aviation isn't just a professional - it's a way of life.
That same precision carries directly into every drone mission ICU Aerial takes on. As an FAA-licensed drone pilot, every flight is operated with the same discipline and professionalism you'd expect in a commercial cockpit - safety first, results always.
Being based at IAH means deep roots in the Houston community. This city isn't just where I fly - it's home. ICU Aerial exists to serve the people, businesses, and stories that make Houston great, one frame at a time.
