Mark Thompson Professional Drone Pilot

I've spent years having fun through drone flight. I say fun because that's what flying is for me. It's fun! I feel free, open, and uninhibited. When I shoot photos from the ground, I feel they have to be beyond perfect as everyone shoots from the ground. This leads to incredibly good images but unshared on the mere fact that I put unnecessary judgment on what I shoot. 

​

But drone photos? Hah! Yes more and more are taking flight, but so few do it, that even in my worst pictures I look at them and say, someone may like that.  I still have ridiculously high standards for photo sharing even my drone pictures, but I am more open to sharing them due to the lack of competition. 

​

You may think that is a bit weird. That's ok I am weird. I am a husband, dad, drone pilot, board game enthusiast, ex-soccer coach, soccer referee, miniature painter, and a major sports fan (favorite teams are the Steelers, Liverpool FC, and Red Wings). The idea of being a jock and a major geek is what made me think of the word Jeek (Jock & Geek). 

​

Come talk to me about anything.  That's the great thing about being a Jeek.  Just let me land the drone first.

My Story

I come from the mean streets of Roosevelt Park & Norton Shores, MI. We used to ride our bikes till the lights turned on and went to football games back when Mona Shores was nothing more than most schools homecoming game. After high school, I went to Central Michigan University. Home of the Chippewas (obligatory Fire Up Chips!). That's where I met my wife, made amazing friends and enjoyed life in Mount Pleasant, MI. 

​

Fast forward a few years and I find myself in Byron Center, MI with my wife. We both work in the area. Her at the hospital, myself at a local small business. To date, we have lived here for almost 20 years, have 3 wonderful children and spend many hours at the soccer fields volunteering. Our house is never clean, but we are always up for adventure.
