Explore My VenturesAbout
I'm Cade Bertel, an entrepreneur based in Waco, Texas (originally from Argyle). I own three businesses: Texas Drone Media for construction and commercial reality capture, Texas Real Estate Media for listing media, and Werth Media for marketing.
I'm an FAA Part 107–licensed drone pilot with experience supporting construction, real estate, and commercial projects across Central Texas and the Dallas–Fort Worth area. My work has included active job sites and marketing initiatives that require consistent documentation, clear communication, and dependable execution.
I focus on practical execution—showing up, communicating clearly, and delivering consistent results through repeatable workflows. I prioritize long-term trust, disciplined work, and integrity-driven standards over short-term wins.
Integrity. Stewardship. Accountability.
