About me

Hi, I’m Patrick McQueen, founder and lead drone operator at NOCO Elevate Aerial Media. I’m a dad of two amazing kiddos, a dedicated professional, and a lifelong learner with a passion for aerial storytelling.

With years of experience in law enforcement—including roles as a SWAT operator, Field Training Officer, and FAA-certified drone pilot—I bring precision, safety, and professionalism to every flight. My journey with drones began in public safety and grew into a full-scale business capturing powerful visuals for real estate, construction, agriculture, events, and more.

At NOCO Elevate, I combine cutting-edge drone technology with a deep commitment to quality, offering cinematic photography and videography, custom pricing, and fast turnaround times. Using top-tier drones like the Mavic 4 Pro and Avata 2, I deliver results that help clients elevate their brands and projects—literally.

Based in Northern Colorado, I proudly serve clients across the state and beyond. Whether I’m out in the field or spending time with my kids, I strive to bring focus, creativity, and heart into everything I do.

Let’s bring your vision to life—one flight at a time.
