Bio
Eric Brown, MBA, PSM
I can't say enough positive things about Stephen and his company, AirWorx Umanned Solutions. We chose Stephen as the vendor for our UAV deployment and we are glad we did. He truly cares about his customers and wants to see you get the proper equipment and best value for your money. He was with us for every step through procurement and set up. He is always available for questions and any follow-up needs you may have. I've recommended AirWorx relentlessly to public safety agencies considering drone usage. I couldn't imagine using anyone else.
