Senior Brad Fering has taken full advantage of the entrepreneurship center at Saint John’s University during the past year.
Bradley Fering ‘21 and his start-up 4K Productions
Fering has launched his own company and LLC, 4k Productions, a drone and photography company specializing in drone flying lessons for children and adults while also producing merchandise and wallpapers/posters.
“I bought my first drone one day as an impulse buy, and it turned out to be one of the best purchases of my life,” said Fering, who fell in love with shooting high-quality pictures of his cabin on a lake in Northern Minnesota and decided he could start a company with his newfound passion.
Fering thanks his professors for their guidance and the Donald McNeely Center for Entrepreneurship for giving him ideas and the confidence he needs.
He will be giving lessons this summer to children who want to learn how to fly drones. Fering didn’t start the company for the income, but his focus on teaching children gives them a fun outdoor activity while teaching them a new skill they hopefully will fall in love with – just like Fering did.
Teaching others while also shooting overhead shots of the beautiful campus for use on CSB/SJU social media pages speaks to how Johnnies are always in it together.
Fering is excited to keep shooting and teaching others the art of drone photography. He also knows that if it wasn’t for Saint John’s University its people, none of this would have been possible.
