21-year-old Utah Drone CEO Could Win $100M Army Contract—George Matus seems fairly calm and nonchalant for a 21-year-old who is in the running to win a $100 million contract from the United States Army. The Utahn is founder and CEO of Teal, a Murray-based drone company that Matus began when he was just 16. Now, Teal is one of six drone companies competing for a nine-figure contract to create reconnaissance drones for soldiers in the field.

"Once consumer drones started becoming widely used and really popular, I started realizing that all they are is just a flying camera that can take photos and videos," Matus said. "And, I've always had these grand visions of what drones could do … and the role for good that they could have in society." Building drones that can fulfill a greater and more impactful mission is a goal now very much in sight for Matus ...
