About The Company
Who am I and how did I get here?
From 2000 to 2023, Brian Layhew proudly served in the United States Air Force, rising to the rank of Master Sergeant. Over the course of 23 years, he honed his leadership, precision, and mission-critical skills—often in high-stakes Search and Rescue Operations where accuracy could mean the difference between life and death.
Upon retirement, Brian channeled that same dedication into a new mission: founding 9 Line Aerial Media. Driven by a passion for capturing the world from above and a commitment to serving both his country and his community, he combined cutting-edge drone technology with his military-honed expertise to deliver unmatched aerial mapping, photogrammetry, and LiDAR services.
For Brian, the mission has never ended—it’s simply evolved from protecting lives to empowering communities with accurate, actionable geospatial intelligence.
