Professional Biography

I am a highly skilled and credentialed drone pilot with a proven track record in unmanned aerial systems (UAS) operations. I’m FAA Certified under Part 107 regulations and hold multiple ProBoard certifications, including Visual Observer and Remote Pilot in Charge, underscoring my commitment to operational safety and regulatory compliance in both training and mission environments.

Over many years, I have supported a wide variety of missions including emergency response, infrastructure inspection, aerial photos and services for realtors, and public safety operations. I have served as a member of the Hamilton County Urban Search and Rescue Aerial Reconnaissance Unit, Blue Ash Fire Department and Blue Ash Police Department Drone Operator. Within the City of Blue Ash and Hamilton County USAR response teams, I have responded to many incidents for Aerial support for critical-missing persons, search and rescue operations, disaster responses, and civil unrest overwatch. For non-response necessities, I have assisted in the preplanning of new construction, aerial progress reporting, SWAT Team recon and preplanning, aerial inspections and many other applications.

My creative and technical capabilities enable me to be a trusted resource in the expanding field of drone operations.
