Hey all, just a little introduction here to get this forum rocking!

Obviously, my name is Jared Garcia. I live in Utah, not far from Chris. I was introduced to UAVs a little over a year ago when a friends dad picked us up a couple LaTrax Alias copters. I cut my teeth on that and shortly after bought a little Hubsan X4. I immediately could see the benefits of strapping a camera on these and did a little research on that avenue. Unbeknownst to me, there was a whole community of people doing just that, and I was hooked!  Fast forward to now, I have been honing my skills and putting the pieces together to take this to a commercial level. Thus far I have moved up incrementally by building from scratch a 250 sized FPV racer, honing my photography with a Phantom 2/H3-3D/GoPro4 setup, and am now in the process of building a 550 sized camera rig. I anticipate getting up to a DSLR lifter on the next build.  So that's roughly where I am on the UAV/Tech side of this industry. On the creative side, I have been involved for many years. I went to school for graphic design and have a couple degrees in Multimedia and Animation. I am fairly adept at running and camera and am familiar with Non Linear Editing, compositing, and photo editing. I have been freelancing graphic design services for 10ish years doing everything from print work, web design, a little bit of marketing/seo. So to say the least, it is a very exciting time to have these two passions be merged under one roof.

Anyhow, enough rambling about me. I am very excited to meet all of you and look forward to working with you. I'm glad Chris has spent the time to create this community and I know it will continue to be a valuable resource.  I'm sure I will be flooding you guys with obnoxious questions as this venture continues to gain traction. That's it for now! Talk to you all soon!
