Andre graduated from the University of New Orleans and has over a decade of experience in visual imaging and aerial cinematography, working with NFL Films and production teams across the South. Now, he brings that same precision and creativity to drone-based inspections, mapping, and thermal imaging.
After earning my certification in Thermal Imaging, I launched Messina Drone Inspections to combine my visual background with advanced technology that helps homeowners, builders, and businesses detect issues early, reduce costs, and operate more safely.

My goal is simple: deliver precision, accuracy, and peace of mind from above.
When I’m not flying, I’m spending time with my wife and our four-year-old daughter, exploring new places, or filming football with the same excitement I’ve captured for years.
