I'm a drone training specialist with a deep commitment to helping first responders and public safety teams get the most out of UAV technology. With over a decade of hands-on experience, I've been teaching drone piloting since 2016, with a focus on helping others gain the skills needed for FAA certification and real-world applications like search and rescue, incident response, and aerial mapping.

I've had the privilege of teaching everything from basic drone flying to advanced techniques for public safety operations. My courses include FAA knowledge prep for certification, as well as specialized training in drone use for fire departments, law enforcement, and community-based organizations. Whether it's running workshops for new pilots or teaching experienced operators how to enhance their skills, I'm passionate about making sure my students feel confident and well-prepared in the field.

As a volunteer pilot, Subject Matter Expert for a local fire department and a member of the county Emergency Services Drone Team, I bring real-world experience to every class I teach. In addition, I've had the opportunity to work with multiple fire departments, school districts, and public safety agencies, training the next generation of drone pilots who are ready to respond in critical situations.

For me, teaching drones is about more than just technical skills-it's about empowering others to use this powerful technology to improve safety, efficiency, and outcomes in emergency operations.
