Meet the Founder

Aviation experience. A different perspective.

Chuck founded Blue Summit Aerial Works on a foundation of aviation experience and purposeful storytelling. An honorable U.S. Air Force veteran who served aboard C-17 aircraft in Charleston, he is an FAA Part 107-certified UAS pilot with a B.S. in Aeronautics and an M.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

Back in the Lowcountry, Chuck brings disciplined flight planning, safety, and an eye for the story to every project—from coastal work to the Mountain West.
