Jason Schultz
Jason's passion for flying became a reality in 1992 when he obtained his private pilot's license in Louisville, Kentucky. After flying for several years, he moved to Franklin, TN and founded Franklin Sign Co. This new venture gave Jason the opportunity to hone his skills as a graphic artist and photographer while creating beautiful signs for businesses throughout Nashville.
In 2017, Jason was able to combine his love for flying and his passion for video and photography, and founded Professional Drone Services.
Jason is excited to be back in the sky, creating beautiful cinematography for his film, television, documentary and commercial clients to help them bring a new dimension to their projects.
