Who We Are

Melvin Gerald Spinks III

Founder & CEO, DroneTech Photography

As the Founder and CEO of DroneTech Photography, I, Melvin Gerald Spinks III, bring a unique combination of expertise, passion, and dedication to the cutting-edge world of drone services. With a professional background in law enforcement, I have served the Houston Police Department since 2018, specializing in tactical operations and working with elite teams, including Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT). My career has equipped me with a keen understanding of precision, accountability, and adaptability—qualities that form the foundation of DroneTech Photography. 

 

My journey into drone technology began with a pivotal moment during my law enforcement career. A work incident highlighted the potential of drones to solve real-world problems, inspiring me to explore how this technology could not only enhance my work but also serve the broader community. This passion sparked the creation of DroneTech Photography, a company built on innovation, reliability, and the drive to help others succeed.
