Bio:

Drone success starts with project confidence. My goal is to unlock the power of aerial survey for emergency response, science, industry and education. I've enjoyed working in the military, academia, the private sector, as a business owner and most recently with the federal workforce. Currently, my main duties are training remote pilots to plan, fly, and deliver UAS projects for the Department of the Interior, Office of Aviation Services.
