Meet Michael

My name is Michael Lenchis and I am the Owner and Operator of Home Grown Drone Media and a licensed FAA Drone Pilot. I started filming with a drone as a hobby in 2018, and it quickly became one of my favorite things to do. I started traveling more just to film, and showed my colleagues my videos. I have a Bachelors Degree in Engineering Management, and at the time I was working for a General Contractor in Colorado on multi-million dollar projects. They loved my videos and asked me to make a few for the company, which you’ll see on this site. A few years and a move to Ohio go by, and I lose my job unexpectedly. I realize now that it was a huge blessing in disguise, because I finally had the push to start working on drone videos full-time. Now, I couldn’t be happier. I would love to share my enthusiasm with you on your project, whether it’s a residential home listing pictures, an airbnb promotional video, or a highlight reel for your business.


Fun facts:

I love to hunt for arrowheads.

I’m from Nashville, Tennessee.

I’m a beekeeper. I catch bee swarms and perform beehive extractions from properties. I process all my own honey and beeswax products, and sell my Bees Know Best raw honey locally in Zanesville, New Concord, and Cambridge.

My talented wife made this website, and she could help revamp yours.
