Charles Ball and Puppy McFace created Rising Eyes to address the aerial photo and video needs of local businesses and individuals. It requires the unique skills of both founders to create informative, compelling, and professional video solutions.
Charles Ball is the primary unmanned aircraft operator. He has many years of experience operating a wide variety of radio-controlled vehicles. He’s had a passion for mechanical devices of every kind since childhood. While getting his B.S. in physics he worked as a mechanic in a bike shop, which married his love of mechanics and the outdoors.
