Alesa was introduced to drone racing while working at an elementary school in Milwaukee, WI, where, after the success of the school's drone team in international competitions, the boss decided to host their own international drone race, and the Ice Storm was born. In the first two years of the Ice Storm, Alesa spent many hours learning about racing, adopting some cool terminology, desperately looking for someone to give her an FPV handle (no luck yet) and most importantly, connecting with pilots. While making sure the event went off without a hitch was her main focus, she realized that the best part of drone racing is the people doing it. And while she doesn't fly herself, she does hold high regard for the sport and the people who dedicate so much of their lives to it, and considers herself lucky to get to work with you all to continue growing this fantastic organization!
