Powering Precision – The Future of Aerial Surveying
Revolutionizing industries with cutting-edge drone technology and high-precision geospatial data
Innovation from the Sky – The FAST Story
FAST is redefining geospatial intelligence with advanced drone technology and data-driven solutions that empower industries like mining, construction, and infrastructure
Founded on Innovation
Andrew Kobza founded FAST in 2018 to bring aviation-grade drone piloting to the world of surveying and mapping. From there, his passion for efficient systems and technology has built FAST into a regional aerial data powerhouse.
Data & Efficiency
We design everything — drones, software, and workflows — in-house for maximum speed, flexibility, and accuracy. Tools like our online portal puts your drone maps and data at your fingertips — fast, simple, and built for action.
Sustainability & Efficiency
Our software driven analytics and rapid turnaround drone mapping maximize our clients' ability to measure, view, and take action on their sites.
Meet the Experts Driving Fast Forward
Our leadership team blends industry expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver smarter aerial surveying solutions. At FAST, we don’t chase trends, we focus on applied technologies that solve real problems. If it doesn’t help our clients, we don’t build it. Simple as that.
Andrew Kobza
CEO & Founder
An FAA Licensed Private Pilot, Andrew specializes in drone operations and technology development, driving FAST's teams to be more efficient for our clients. His obsession with innovation for the sake of client experience allows FAST to go from client need to delivered product in record time.
Alexis Kobza
Chief Operating Officer
Alexis serves as the operational engine of FAST. Combining her experience in finance, customer experience, and drone operations she ensures seamless execution and implements FAST's vision into tangible results our clients know and love.
Jeff Stouten
VP of Surveying and Quality Control
Jeff is a veteran of the survey community with over 20 years of experience ranging from field operations, to drone-based LIDAR and Photogrammetry, to teaching survey and mapping at FGCU as an adjust professor. He ensures that while FAST pushes the envelope on being, well... fast, we don't miss any detail in the process.
A message from our Founder
Our mission: rapid acquisition of quality survey data on a FAST timeline with the industries best communication.
“Our team focuses on innovations in the survey and mapping world that are often unseen by our clients, but impact them greatly. We constantly drive our teams to communicate quickly with clients, eliminate inefficiencies to enable consistent and rapid delivery times, and build systems that work for us instead of adapting to vendors' systems. This has enabled us to take aerial workflows — already 80+% faster than traditional survey methods — and improve delivery by weeks. In terms of what it means for our clients: we recently completed a 600 acre survey in a 5-day rush for a client — a job that just a few years ago would take months with traditional methods and numerous weeks without our built-in-house systems.”
