As the needs of clients evolved, so did the company. Recognizing the growing demand for comprehensive video production services, Up in the Air Films expanded its expertise beyond drones to offer full-scale video production. This transition was driven by a commitment to meet the diverse needs of clients, particularly private schools, which hold a special place in the company’s mission due to Daniel’s own educational background in Catholic schools. The team believes in the power of private education and the unique opportunities it provides.

Daniel’s academic journey led him to Sam Houston State University, where he graduated with a political science and theater degree. Originally aspiring to attend law school, he found his true calling in entrepreneurship, driven by a passion for storytelling and creativity. Alongside his business pursuits, Daniel nurtured his love for acting, training under film coach Deke Anderson from Next Level Acting Studios and securing representation with Pastorini Bosby Talent. This experience enriched his understanding of the industry, allowing him to hone his craft as an actor and even land roles in multiple commercials.
