Jesse Gibbon spent several years serving as an aeromedical evacuation pilot in the military flying UH-60 Blackhawks. His time in the military bolstered his love for aviation. Upon leaving the military he found himself diving into the drone industry using his experience as a helicopter pilot to navigate the FAA and utilize drones to their fullest potential.
Jesse spent 5 years in the drone industry providing quality drone services until he founded Captive Drone discovering that many companies can benefit from an in house program rather than paying for third party contractors. This realization has led him to build Captive Drone whose mission is to enhance safety, efficiency and reliability by integrating drones into any business.
When Jesse is not flying drones or helicopters he can be found in Acadia National Park, with his wife Kaytee, enjoying the beauty of Maine.
Tom served in the Maine Army National Guard as a UH-60 Blackhawk pilot for the 126th MEDEVAC Company. He holds Commercial and Instrument ratings in both airplanes and helicopters as well as a Remote Pilot Certificate. His years of aviation experience and instruction provide a solid base for instructing new and seasoned pilots. Tom regularly completes real-world drone operations and training for clients in a variety of industries as Chief UAS Pilot for Captive Drone Technologies. His instruction and operations are safety-first, emphasizing proper technique and thorough understanding of regulations.
When not working, Tom and his wife, Jess, enjoy taking their dog hiking. Residing in Charleston, SC and a graduate of The Citadel, he enjoys exploring historic buildings and natural landmarks– perfect photo opportunities for a drone!
