Jack Mast - Owner

Having been born and raised in Woodland, California, I take great pride in being the sixth generation of a farming family in Yolo County. My dedication to agriculture led me to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where I earned a degree in Agricultural Plant Science, concentrating on fruit and orchard science. During my time at Cal Poly, I also developed an interest in pest management, culminating in my acquisition of the DPR Pest Control Advisor license in 2017.

Upon graduation, I gained practical experience within my family’s pear and cherry farming business in the Sacramento Delta, where I honed my skills in various areas, from irrigation to pest scouting. In 2019, I joined Corteva Agriscience as their main drone pilot and Advanced Phenotyping lead, igniting a strong passion for leveraging technology to improve agricultural practices.

In 2024, I took the leap to merge my knowledge in drones, pest management, and orchard science by launching my own venture—Mast Aerial Services. I am eager to introduce innovative solutions to farmers, enabling them to enhance their operations and unlock the full potential of their crops.

*I'm also a Certified Agriculture Pest Control Advisor (PCA) and also a FAA Certified Part 107 sUAS pilot
