Flying with Purpose. Grounded in Faith.
Guided by Purpose
Born and raised in Wisconsin, Brian Keister's love for the outdoors began at an early age. Guided by faith and a strong work ethic, he founded Rugged Altitude to merge cutting-edge drone technology with precision field solutions. What began as a mission to revolutionize hunting and conservation has soared into a full-scale drone solutions company—trusted by hunters, landowners, and industries alike for results that matter.

We fuse cutting-edge drone technology with boots-on-the-ground experience to deliver actionable aerial intelligence. Whether you're hunting whitetails, managing timber, or tracking critical infrastructure—Rugged Altitude brings clarity from above, precision on the ground, and ethics at the core.
Our Approach
This isn’t a job. It’s a calling.
