Meet Our Ohio Thermal Operations Team
When you call Hivel, you aren’t just hiring standard tech operators or remote drone pilots—you are bringing life-long, avid outdoorsmen onto your property. We have spent years in the field chasing the exact same wildlife, managing the same land challenges, and tracking the same patterns you deal with every day.
Because we live the outdoor lifestyle ourselves, we don't just rely on what the thermal screen shows us; we back it up with real, boots-on-the-ground woodsman instinct. Whether we are recovering a lost asset, analyzing a deer herd, or coordinating a predator eradication, we handle your property and your mission with the deep respect, discipline, and understanding that only fellow outdoorsmen can provide.
Ron — Founder & Lead UAS Pilot
Ron founded Hivel Thermal Solutions to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and true outdoor grit. As an avid outdoorsman with years of hands-on experience in the field, Ron transitioned the company from abstract aerial imagery to hands-on thermal recovery, predator control, and guided operations. Driven by the camaraderie of working side-by-side with clients, He built Hivel Thermal Solutions LLC to act as a direct teammate to local landowners, ranchers, and hunters alike."
