About Skywalker Drone Imagery

Hi, I’m Lucas Grein—husband, dad to two amazing kids, and the guy behind the sticks at Skywalker Drone Imagery. Faith and family are the pillars I lean on every day, and I’m grateful that my work lets me provide for my family while creating something useful for other people.

I graduated from Regis University in 2008 with a degree in mathematics, later earned a master’s from CU, and I’ve been a public school math teacher since 2008 (nine years in middle school, the rest in high school). Teaching shaped how I see the world: break big problems into simple steps, meet people where they are, and stick with them until it clicks. Watching students’ confidence grow—especially when a tough concept finally lands—has been one of the real joys of my life.

Along the way, I’ve always loved making things—videos, photos, little stories stitched together from real moments. In 2017 I started flying drones and felt that same spark I get from teaching: a mix of curiosity, craft, and purpose. What began as a creative outlet slowly turned into a small business, one flight and one project at a time. Today I’m an FAA Part 107–certified commercial drone pilot, and I still bring that teacher mindset to every job: plan carefully, fly safely, and deliver something people can understand and act on.

Flying is fun—but what keeps me going is helping people see clearly: a superintendent verifying quantities after a storm, a family showing their home in the best light, a crew closing a project with clean documentation. It’s the same feeling I get in the classroom when a hard problem finally clicks.

If you’d like to talk about a project—or you’re just curious what a drone could help you capture—I’m always happy to connect. I’m grateful for the chance to do this work, and I don’t take a single flight for granted.
