About The Owner

Owner Tom staszak

Lifelong Pittsburgher

FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certified

 

Formerly dreamt up, created, built, and operated Vantastic Limo LLC in Pittsburgh from 2013-2020.  Covid shut the retro vintage party van themed business down, but I never lost that entrepreneurial spirit.  I'm a graduate of the Schreyer honors college at the Pennsylvania state university.  I SPENT 22 YEARS IN SUPPLY CHAIN operations and business development management roles in a major consumer packaged goods company.  I've been a big contributor to the world of vintage custom vans over the PAST DECADE, volunteering MY creative time and effort to promote the legacy of the National Truck-In aka van nationals.  i helped custom Vanner magazine do some cool virtual things in the world of vans.  In 2022 I began to focus on filming, editing, and posting mostly custom van content on my YouTube channel Vantastic Television.  

​​

My wife bought me a drone for a Christmas gift in 2020 on a hunch due to my love of filming in general, and since then it's become a passion.  I fell in love with the unique perspectives and viewpoints that only a drone can capture.  As I studied the laws of the airspace, I learned that the FAA takes drones very seriously.  I obtained my part 107 license in 2023 and fly my drones every chance I get.  My friends, family, and the van community have enjoyed my aerial work.  AS YOU CAN SEE BY THIS WEBSITE, I'm now OFFERING MY services for hire.  i can capture aerial content for you or your business and can also help with non-aerial creative photo and video projects and promotion.
