History
Early history
In late 2014, Richard Wicker and a business partner opened up an online retail store focused on bringing high-end drones to the consumer market. The business partners found that the public had yet to embrace the emerging technology, and the company set out to change the public's misconception about drones and show how they can be used for good purposes. After a successful online business, Expert Drones opened up its first physical storefront at the Tysons Corner Center in April 2015. Additionally, Expert Drones is one of the first companies to offer crash coverage insurance on all drone models. This service began in August 2015. Since then, Expert Drones has become an industry leader in the consumer drone space.
In September 2015, Expert Drones partnered with drone manufacturer 3D Robotics to become an authorized retailer of the state of the art "Solo" drone at their retail chains. Expert Drones developed a partnership with Shenzen, China based manufacturer DJI to sell the Phantom 3 and Inspire 1 drone lines to consumers across the U.S. At the same time, Expert Drones also partnered with Yuneec International and Hubsan Intelligent Ltd. to become a licensed dealer.
In late 2015, Expert Drones partnered with EventMarketer to create the first ever Drone University, featuring drones used for advertising and marketing purposes.
