Rocket Drones

Chris Tonn

Chris Tonn, CEO and founder of Pelican Drones, lead the panhandle industry in commercial aerial drone operations by becoming the first FAA approved commercial service provider in Northwest #Florida in 2015. He quickly demonstrated the varied services that a drone could provide to many of the businesses in the area between New Orleans, LA to Tallahassee, FL. Chris initially began the #startupcompany by providing aerial photos and videos. He quickly adapted and advanced the growth of the company by expanding the services that Pelican Drones offered. Today the services now include an array of ground videography and photography camera provisions, 360 imaging, industrial inspections, traffic and parking studies, 3-D mapping, construction progression shots, as well as drone #sales and #training. He created a one-stop-shop for current and potential clients! This was promptly and eagerly accepted by many of the businesses, which has led to a valued, repeat customer base. In a recent addition, Chris has launched a new #business by the name of Rocket Drones with partner Brandon Turk, to bring the exciting world of #drone racing to middle and high schools across the country.
