In this episode of Elevated & On The Go, I sit down with Tom Dowling to talk about the journey behind the work, the experiences that shape his life, and the community that keeps the drone industry growing.

Tom is retired from the New York Fire Department, a photographer, a drone operator, and an active leader in the Las Vegas drone community. Our conversation goes beyond drones and into the mindset of responsibility, the importance of showing up for others, and what it really means to live a life of purpose and adventure.

We talk about how Tom got started, his path into photography and drone work, and how those opportunities continue to evolve. We also share experiences from the desert, including his time joining us on Desert Escape, where off-road exploration, storytelling, and flying all come together in a way that shifts perspective.

We also dive into the Las Vegas Drone Meetup and why community matters more than ever, especially for those looking to grow, learn, and connect with others in this space.

This is a relaxed and real conversation about life, learning, and finding your path while staying grounded in responsibility and purpose.
