Introducing Ones Self: Kele Stanley Drones, Fam and Life in General

Hey Steemers!

My name is Kele Stanley. Kele pronounced Kelly. I am excited to be part of the community and share my experiences with everyone! So here goes... First, I'm a husband and dad with three little ones. Ages 13, 4 and 2. They are... along with my beautiful wife, the light of my life.

Over the years I've developed a love for video and started my own cinema videography business back in 2012. It really took off with our addition of weddings, which is actually why I decided to get out of shooting video for the most part. Brides are the devil! At some point I knew that hanging out of a heli to get aerials was never going to be a cheap option so I started attaching them to RC planes, helis and eventually multi rotors. More conventionally known as drones. Ever since, life has been drones and family. Somewhere in all that I got my pilot license, for real planes and drones.

I now work a full time job for a CAT subsidiary as a drone pilot. YES, A DRONE PILOT. I get paid to fly drones, and know all about them. Which is actually perfect because, well... I already knew a lot about them before. I am an avid hobbyist, which is also why I work in the field I do. I fly all sorts of things from planes to racing drones. I post most of that on Instagram, FB and Youtube. I did the vlog thing a little and now I just mainly post my flights. But I may go back to the vlog now that Steem is here! I've included a bunch of links to check out to get to know a little about what I do.

Here's a pretty cool FPV flight!

By far my favorite Vlog!

The amazing company I work for!

Lot's of stuff at https://www.instagram.com/kelefpv as well!

When I was younger, I raced BMX and was national champ when I was 16. I loved to ride my bike. Got a snowboard when I was 18 and have been riding it ever since. Got hooked on wakeboarding at about the same time. Board sports took over. We love the outdoors. Heres a couple old vids from my hayday...

Throw back to wakeboarding in 2012!
