Meet the Geeks (Our Drone Pilots)

We are perfectionists, geeks who actually love the technology, RC and camera equipment that we use every day as we fly our drones. We are blessed that we have been able to turn a hobby we love into a career that allows us to have fun! (Plus we love buying gadgets. Just check out all of our Drones & Equipment.)

Bryce Parker, a native Arizonian, Blackhawk pilot, and soldier of the year, has joined the ranks of EAP.
Bryce Parker played soccer for Pima College, where he studied mechanical and electro-mechanical design. He joined the Army Reserves in 2014 and served with the 492nd Civil Affairs Battalion, where he worked as a Civil Affairs Specialist (38B). 

In 2015, Bryce was selected to compete for the “Soldier of the Year” competition in the United States Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (USACAPOC). Needless to add, he took first place! A few months later he competed once again, this time against the top of the top in each command, and once again, he took first place! Later that year he represented the Army Reserve at the Department of the Army Best Warrior Competition. 

Bryce was accepted into flight school in 2017 and currently flies the UH-60 Blackhawk for the Arizona National Guard. He lives with his wife Sydney. They both share a love of the outdoors, and enjoy camping, hiking, going on adventures with their dog scout, and flying drones.

Aaron Stevens

Pilot

Aaron's time served as a Calvary Scout(19D) in the U.S. Army allowed him to have the privilege of flying a Raven; he left the Army in 2015 as a specialist(E4). This experience sparked his passion to fly drones in the civilian industry and thus began his career as a pilot here at Extreme Aerial Productions. Aaron loves the outdoors and spending time with his family.

Mark Taylor

Chief Geek

Mark’s passion for photography started when his first son was born. As his boys grew up, and their passion for RC became a growing obsession, Mark decided to turn an adolescent hobby into a serious venture. After several years of training and developing his skills, Extreme Aerial Productions was born.

April Taylor

The Boss

As an art graduate and overall perfectionist April keeps us all on the straight and narrow and has become proud of what she initially thought was a childish endeavor by her husband Mark. April’s great eye for detail comes in very handy when framing that perfect shot as the camera op when we use our MoVI Controller or Mimic etc. on set. She keeps all the paperwork in check and supports bookings when the boys are out “playing” on location. We call it hard work!

A Day in the Life of a Drone Pilot
