In 1997, Jeremy Ruben became one of the Marine Corps' first UAV pilots, operating The Pioneer drone. After his enlistment, he moved on from drones, unaware of their future role in his career.

In 2022, as a top design consultant for a pool contractor, Jeremy discovered the potential of drones for gathering site data, streamlining his workflow. Intrigued, he earned his FAA Part 107 certification and mastered photogrammetry, enabling precise site mapping and 3D modeling.

Jeremy’s innovative use of drones doubled his sales performance, impressing clients with accuracy and efficiency. This success inspired him to create ProTerra Imagery, offering cutting-edge drone mapping, photogrammetry services and sales support. ProTerra Imagery revolutionizes project workflows, saving time, increasing accuracy, and building client confidence across industries.

Outside of work, Jeremy’s life is anchored in faith, family, and community. He is an active member of Echo Life Church in Pensacola, FL, where his involvement and connection with the men’s ministry have played a major role in his personal growth and faith journey.

Jeremy is engaged to his fiancée Brynn, and together they’re raising her son Dillon, who shares his love of adventure and learning. Their family enjoys spending time outdoors — biking around town with their Bernese Mountain Dog, Fitzgerald, roller skating, hiking, and exploring the Gulf Coast.

A lifelong mover, Jeremy was once a professional swing and country western dancer, owning and operating two dance studios where he taught styles such as West Coast Swing, his personal favorite. Earlier in life, he trained extensively in martial arts under some of the top instructors in Los Angeles, CA. These days, he channels that same discipline into basketball, fitness, and time at the pistol range.

At his core, Jeremy believes that nothing comes before God and family. His faith shapes the way he leads, works, and loves — guiding every decision with purpose, humility, and gratitude.
