Jerimiah Contreras

Jerimiah’s journey into the world of drones began with a $30 nano drone, a Christmas gift from his dad that sparked a passion he couldn’t ignore. After upgrading to an Inspire 1, he relentlessly pursued his dream of becoming a professional drone pilot, undeterred by skepticism surrounding both the technology’s early days and its perceived limitations. Through hands-on experience and relentless trial and error, Jerimiah overcame obstacles and built a successful career in the UAV industry. Now, with nearly a decade of expertise, he serves as the Manager of Pilot Experience at FlyGuys, where he is dedicated to supporting, training, and developing pilots. Jerimiah’s vision is to create a thriving community of pilots who are empowered to excel and contribute to the growth of the drone industry. His commitment to helping others and his belief in the limitless potential within himself and the industry continue to drive his career forward.
