More Than Just A Pilot:
Certifications You Can Trust
Hi, I'm Andre Messina, and I’ve been a licensed drone pilot since 2016.
Why spend all the time and money to become a Certified Thermographer and spend 10+ hours getting an OSHA certification?
Because when I step on your job site you get more than a guy with a drone. I took the time to know how you operate so I can complement your business or project instead of being an outsider that needs a babysitter.
I strive to broaden my knowledge in drone inspections so that even difficult topics like thermography can be presented in a way that is palatable and benefits your company.
With me you get a pilot that is always seeking to know more and bring that knowledge to your next project.

ANDRE MESSINA
Founder / Licensed Drone Pilot / Certified
Thermographer

Andre graduated from the University of New Orleans and has over a decade of experience in visual imaging and aerial cinematography, working with NFL Films and production teams across the South. Now, he brings that same precision and creativity to drone-based inspections, mapping, and thermal imaging.
After earning my certification in Thermal Imaging, I launched Messina Drone Inspections to combine my visual background with advanced technology that helps homeowners, builders, and businesses detect issues early, reduce costs, and operate more safely.
-
My goal is simple: deliver precision, accuracy, and peace of mind from above.
When I’m not flying, I’m spending time with my wife and our four-year-old daughter, exploring new places, or filming football with the same excitement I’ve captured for years.
