Behind the Lens:

No Scripts. No Studio. Just Real Exploration.

Most people drive right past the crumbling coastal estates, forgotten military bunkers, and hidden mountain ruins that line the West Coast.

I started BayAreaBob | Forgotten California because I wanted to uncover the raw, gritty history from places I remembered growing up. Explore along with me on the backroads, into the fog, and through the ruins of the Golden State. What you see on screen is exactly who I am: an explorer driven by genuine curiosity and authentic storytelling that I never planned.

To get those sweeping coastal shots and cinematic mountain views safely and legally, I operate as a FAA Part 107 Certified Pilot. Using UAVs like the DJI Mini Pro, I capture stabilized 4K footage and precise imaging under challenging, real-world conditions.

Whether I am tracking down a century-old ruin for the community or mapping a commercial property for a client, the approach is the same: authentic, disciplined, and focused on the story. I have found a way to do what I love and to love what I do.
