Brandon Beal is the Co-Founder and CEO of Elevation Aerial Application. Before founding Elevation, Brandon spent his youth working across the aviation industry—from aerial spray operations and flight schools to charter companies—building the operational foundation that would later define his approach to commercial UAS work.
Based in Galax, Virginia, Elevation operates under FAA Part 137 certification and 44807 exemptions, flying a professional fleet of 10+ agricultural heavy-lift aircraft across farming, forestry, and land management operations throughout Virginia and North Carolina.
In just four years, Elevation has logged more than 35,000+ flights covering tens of thousands of acres, making it one of the largest and most active drone aerial applicators on the East Coast.
