Plan with purpose
Define what needs to be documented, who will use it, and what the finished material needs to communicate.
About ECM

Hi, I'm Miles.
I've been flying drones for more than nine years, long before ECM was a business. Over time, that interest grew into cameras, photography, and finding better ways to clearly show what is happening on a property or jobsite.
Outside of ECM, I work in engineering at Eli Lilly & Company. I've spent more than a decade in pharmaceutical manufacturing, much of it working with sterile filling lines in highly regulated aseptic environments. My work has evolved into more data-driven engineering and technical roles, but the same fundamentals still apply: understand the process, pay attention to the details, and document the work clearly. That mindset carries directly into how I run ECM.
When you contact ECM, you work directly with me. I'm the person who talks through the project with you, plans the coverage, shows up on site, and puts the final material together.
My wife and I live in Greenwood with our three daughters. I'm building ECM to provide local companies with reliable visual documentation and the kind of straightforward service I would want if I were hiring someone myself.
Why the background matters
Good documentation starts before the camera comes out.
The equipment changes with the work. The underlying process stays focused on clarity, consistency, and a useful finished record.
Capture consistently
Use deliberate coverage and repeatable viewpoints when comparison, progress, or location context matters.
Organize for use
Deliver material in a clear structure so teams can review it, share it, and return to it later.
Service area
Based in Greenwood, serving commercial projects across Central Indiana.
Project location, airspace, access, weather, and capture requirements are reviewed before scheduling. Work outside the core service area can be discussed when the project is a good fit.
