With over 1,200 flight hours as a UAS pilot and more than a decade of experience in unmanned aerial systems, photogrammetry, LiDAR mapping, technical operations, and pilot team management, I bring a well-rounded and highly specialized skill set to the geospatial and utility sectors. My key areas of expertise include aerial inspections of critical infrastructure, flight planning and execution, project management, pilot leadership, precision data acquisition, and the development of UAS programs from the ground up.
I have a strong background in training and instruction, with a proven record of preparing over 100 pilots for LiDAR mapping and Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC) roles as well. These pilots, known for their focus on safety, regulatory compliance and operational integrity, were from UAS programs at the more than 50 organizations I’ve trained, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, HDR, AMEREN, LCRA, Southern Gas, and the Philippine Government.
Recognized for optimizing workflows, developing internal SOPs, and driving safe, efficient operations, I consistently empower teams through a commitment to technical excellence and best practices. My work fosters innovation and precision, particularly in high-stakes environments within the utility and geospatial industries. I hold active certifications to operate in the United States, the United Kingdom, and European Union.
