Background

About John Lidstone

I'm an FAA Part 107-certified drone operations professional with Part 135 Ground Support and Visual Observer training, currently supporting active drone delivery missions. Over the past year, I've operated as a Ground Support Operator, performing pre- and post-flight inspections, equipment staging, UAS maintenance, and real-time mission coordination—all in strict alignment with FAA and internal safety protocols. With more than three years of prior leadership in field logistics, security systems, and customer operations, I bring a strong foundation in team coordination, safety compliance, and high-pressure problem-solving. My background includes managing multi-site construction logistics, retail operations, and technical field installations—skills that translate directly to drone-based field support. I thrive in mission-driven environments where safety, precision, and adaptability are paramount. I'm passionate about contributing to the future of drone logistics through reliable, compliant, and scalable operational support.
