About Me:
I'm a 31-year-old writer and musician living and working in Austin, TX. On Wednesdays I host "Austin's Worst Open Mic Night" with my brother at a rugby bar called Nasty's. No one ever signs up.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I'm part of the 3DRobotics Austin-based marketing and video production team. Been flying for less than a year, so forgive my ignorance and consider my curiosity! :-)
