Meet your Pilot

Matt Dreher, the founder of Upside aerials, has been a pilot since 2007. He holds FAA commercial and certified flight instructor certificates. In 2016 Matt was among the first pilots in the country to be awarded his Remote Pilot Operating certificates allowing him to perform commercial work utilizing small unmanned aerial systems (drones).

In addition to operating Upside Aerials, Matt is a Lecturer at The Ohio State University’s Center for Aviation Studies. He has taught hundreds of students pursuing careers in the aviation industry and logged ~750 hours of flight instruction given. He was instrumental in developing the University’s Part 107 Remote Pilot Exam Prep course.

In September 2021, Matt had the pleasure of co-facilitating a round table discussion at the Commercial UAV Expo in Las Vegas, NV focused on developing practical flight training opportunities to help prepare student remote pilots for real world applications of their skills.
