Title: Nurturing the Skies and the Soil: A Family Man's Journey of Trust in Precision Agriculture

Greetings from the heartland of Oklahoma! I'm Alexander, a dedicated law enforcement officer, an outdoor enthusiast, and the co-founder of Wampum Unmanned Technologies. As I reflect on my journey, I find deep satisfaction in our mission: Empowering agriculture with precision, efficiency, and sustainability.

Law Enforcement Roots: A Foundation of Trust

Before drones and technological landscapes, my journey began in the realm of law enforcement. Over the years I've earned two promotions that underscore my commitment to excellence and dedication to service. In addition to my law enforcement career, I've pursued excellence beyond the uniform, obtaining an emergency medical technician (EMT) certification—a testament to my commitment to providing life-saving aid when needed.

These experiences serve as pillars of leadership and a commitment to excellence that I bring to the mission of Wampum Unmanned Technologies. Serving the city of Tulsa has instilled in me values of integrity, responsibility, and an unwavering commitment to safety, while promotions highlight my ability to lead and excel in high-pressure situations.

Connecting with the Land: Family, Faith, and the Great Outdoors

My love for the outdoors extends beyond the city and into the fabric of my family life. As a family man, I've found solace and joy in exploring the wonders of God's creation. Whether it's a camping trip or a quiet moment at home with my wife Laura and our three daughters, Kara, Sarah, and Amanda, the beauty of the land resonates with our essence of family and faith.

Skyward Bound: A Drone Pioneer's Tale

In 2020, I took to the skies with a drone. Now holding both a part 107 and part 137 license, I've soared through the realms of possibility in the unmanned technologies sphere. This expertise forms the backbone of Wampum Unmanned Technologies, where we've embraced drones as tools for precision, efficiency, and sustainable land management.

Entrepreneurial Spirit: From Ideas to Impact

Collaboration fuels innovation. My journey alongside Justin Brown, my friend since 1994, led us to co-found Wampum Unmanned Technologies, LLC together with Benjamin Hemmila. Together, we've steered not just one, but two successful ventures—one utilizing drones for custom land management and the other selling cutting-edge unmanned vehicles (drones and tractors). Our entrepreneurial spirit reflects our dedication to transforming ideas into impactful solutions.

Community, Faith, and Leadership: A Trinity of Values

Beyond business, I find fulfillment in community engagement. Whether leading a bible study at work or leading the Tulsa Police Pipes and Drums, I believe in the power of community and faith. I am a member of BattleCreek church- the Jenks campus, I am affiliated with Mighty Oaks Foundation- helping veterans and first responders create better legacies for thier families and communities through connections with God, and I lead men to grow closer to God through a local ministry- Mountain Men. These values underpin Wampum Unmanned Technologies, instilling trust in our commitment to not just technological innovation but also ethical, sustainable practices.

In the vast landscape of precision agriculture, trust is our currency. I invite you to journey with Wampum Unmanned Technologies as we nurture the skies and the soil, empowering agriculture with precision, efficiency, and sustainability.

Until then, may your fields be fruitful, and your skies be clear.

Sincerely,

Alex Peiffer
