Louis has flown drones his whole life and picked up drone racing in 2019. Thousands of flight hours later, he became the 2023 National Collegiate Drone Racing Champion and led his School to a 1st place finish in 2024. Older brother to Nelson, Louis learned about the challenges that researchers faced when gathering data near/inside a tornado, and figured that the OTUS concept was possible with the right engineering expertise to solve such issues. After pulling in Tanner, a close friend through drone racing, OTUS was born and in less than 3 months he flew the first drone inside a tornado in May 2024.
