Who We Are

My name is Chris Parsons and I am the owner of Scioto Valley Drone Service. I am born and raised here in Chillicothe, Ohio, and I wanted to provide our a local drone service to our town a surrounding areas.

I am a graduate of The Ohio State University where I received my B.S. in Agriculture. When I was in college I developed a fascination with drones and their endless uses in agriculture and other fields. I received my part 107 certification from the FAA in January of 2023.
