Ed Rich

Founder — NE Ohio Drone LLC

Most drone operators learned to fly recently and built a business around it. Ed Rich built a 45-year career in business, sales, and marketing — and then added professional drone piloting to an already deep skillset.

When Ed captures aerial footage of your Cleveland-area commercial property, construction project, or golf facility, he isn't just thinking about the shot — he's thinking about what will move your audience, close your sale, and drive measurable results for your business.

As a lifelong Northeast Ohioan, Ed knows this region intimately — from the lakefront corridors of the North Coast to the commercial corridors of Greater Cleveland's east and west sides. That local knowledge means your project is captured from its strongest visual and strategic angles every time.

When you hire North Coast Drone, you work directly with Ed. Not a team, not a subcontractor, not an assistant. Personal attention from the first phone call through final delivery.

Published Author & Sales Expert

Ed is the author of "Close Every Sales Call," a guide to sales strategy and customer psychology. That understanding of what motivates buyers informs every aerial project — because great footage that doesn't sell is just pretty pictures.

FAA Part 107 Licensed & Fully Insured

Ed holds FAA commercial drone pilot certification under Part 107 and carries $1 million in liability insurance. He has real-world experience navigating controlled airspace approval near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport — complex authorization that many operators simply avoid.

🏠

Lifelong Northeast Ohioan

Born and raised in the Akron-Cleveland corridor, Ed knows Northeast Ohio and the North Coast inside and out — the neighborhoods, the business landscape, and what makes this region unique. That local knowledge shows in every shoot.

Complete Production — Start to Finish

Ed doesn't hand you raw footage and walk away. Every project includes professional editing, color grading, sound design, and delivery of finished, ready-to-use marketing assets. One expert. Complete production. Strategic results.

📚 "Close Every Sales Call" — Ed's Published Book

Understanding what motivates buyers and drives purchasing decisions isn't just Ed's background in sales — it's a philosophy he wrote a book about. "Close Every Sales Call" teaches businesses how to convert prospects into customers. That same strategic thinking goes into every aerial project North Coast Drone undertakes. We don't just create beautiful footage — we create marketing materials engineered to sell.
